So far, no incidents of injuries or property damage have been reported.

The Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) have not made any comment on the incident.

Here are some tips on what to do in the event of an Earth Tremor:

  • If you are indoors, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops.
  • If you are outdoors, move away from buildings, trees, and power lines.
  • If you are driving, pull over to the side of the road and stop until the shaking stops.
