 EARTHQUAKE EVENT IN EAST
ANATOLIAN FAULT ZONE – EMSR648
Event date: 06/02/2023 01:27 UTC
A 7.8-magnitude quake struck just after 4 a.m. Monday morning local
time, 23 kilometres (14.2 miles) east of Nurdagi, Gaziantep province.
It is one of the strongest earthquakes to hit Republic of Türkiye in
more than 100 years. The event caused dozens of collapsed buildings
and fatalities.

The European Commission's Copernicus emergency satellite mapping

system was activated by the ERCC on 6 February at 04:43 UTC to support
damage assessment (less than 4 hours after the M7.8. earthquake).

Starting from 07 February, optical satellite images of very high resolution

(less than 1 meter) were acquired over 20 areas of interest (AOIs)
