On March 23, 2024, the residents of Boumerdes were slightly shaken by a moderate earthquake.
At 09:18, the Center for Research in Astronomy, Astrophysics, and Geophysics (CRAAG) recorded a seismic tremor with a magnitude of 3.1. This tremor was located 7 km northeast of Boumerdes, a city already familiar with earthquakes.
Although of modest magnitude, a seismic tremor of 3.1 is sufficient to be felt by the population without causing significant damage. Authorities remain vigilant, as even small tremors can be precursors to larger events.
This event highlights the importance of earthquake preparedness. CRAAG experts and local authorities continue to monitor the situation and promote safety measures in the event of larger earthquakes.
