Epicenter location of the April 6 2013 M7 earthquake
Update 22:10 UTC : Professor Max Wyss, who specializes in theoretical prognoses of injuries and fatalities expects : 0 to 100 injuries and 0 to 10 fatalities. ER endorses these expectations.
Update 22:08 UTC : The area has steep mountain ranges and its vegetation is rainforest which means that the chance on dangerous landslides is real
Update 22:04 UTC : We expect no news from the epicenter and surrounding areas for at least 6 to 8 hours.
Update 22:02 UTC : USGS expects a very strong shaking in several parts to the north of the epicenter including the coastal areas.
Update 22:00 UTC : The town of ATUBI is within the damage radius we expect. We have to mention however that Papua has a lot of massive earthquakes and that fatalities are almost never happen.
Update 21:57 UTC : There is NO tsunami risk as the earthquake's epicenter is below the Irian Jaya jungle inland.
