According to the National Disaster Management Organization, the reported earth tremors that were felt in several areas of Accra on December 12 on successive days were not dangerous (NADMO).
It was noted that there were no incidents of documented loss of property or lives. NADMO is requesting that everyone in the community keep their composure and continue out their usual duties.
“Homeowners in affected areas are encouraged to inspect their buildings for possible cracks and seek technical advice from Engineers and other building experts,” NADMO said in a statement issued by its Director-General, Eric Nana Agyemang-Prempeh, on Monday, December 12.
It stated that it is working with the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) to learn all the specifics of Monday’s earthquakes, including their intensity and epicenter.
“The public will be duly informed of any development.”
The Organisation concluded by cautioning the public on the kinds of information shared on social media “in order to be safe and go about our duties without fear and needless panic”.
