Abstract

In the region of Suha Krajina a number of weak to moderate earthquakes occurred in years 2013 and 2014 with two stronger shocks. The first one occurred on 16 June 2013 at 20:04 UTC (22:04 Central European daylight saving time). Its local magnitude was 3.6, and the highest intensity V-VI EMS98. The second and strongest event occurred on 13 March 2014 at 17:31 UTC (18:31 Central European time) with local magnitude 3.7, and the highest intensity VI EMS-98. Both earthquakes caused fear and some material damage. Data on earthquake effects were collected by macroseismic questionnaires and analysed in details. Employees of the Office for Seismology and Geology visited the reported damaged buildings, and suggested possible seismic reinforcement.
