The seismic event, registered at 01:04 AM, was noticeable in various areas of Andalusia. The Emergency Plan for Seismic Risk in Andalusia was activated in its emergency phase, operational situation 1. Antonio Sanz, Minister of Presidency, Health, and Emergencies, explained that this activation allows for enhanced monitoring and coordination of necessary resources, adding that there is no record of personal injuries so far.
The 112 emergency line managed over 200 calls across Andalusia, the majority originating from the province of Granada, but also from others like Almería, Seville, and Málaga, in addition to the aforementioned calls from Córdoba and municipalities in Jaén.
Some citizens reported cracks, falling cornices, debris, and damage to buildings. Antonio Sanz detailed that firefighters and police are inspecting and cordoning off affected areas to prevent risks and urged the public to respect these markings. The Volunteer Architects Group of Andalusia (GAVE) has been activated to assess damage, and contact is maintained with the Andalusian Institute of Geophysics and the Higher Council for Scientific Research.
The Andalusian Emergency Agency (EMA) reminds the public of self-protection advice: remain calm, stay away from facades and elements that could fall, do not use the elevator if the home is undamaged, and in exterior areas, move away from facades, electrical wires, and cornices. If in a vehicle, stop it in a safe place and remain inside. After the shaking, check for injuries and the condition of gas, water, and electricity lines. It is recommended not to use the phone unless for emergencies and to follow authorities' instructions via media and official social media accounts.
