Hazard data for Ecuador earthquake

GEM's Hazard Team has created a blog post in which it presents seismic hazard data for the recent earthquake in Ecuador, based on information mostly collected in the framework of the SARA project coordinated by GEM in 2014-2015.

The image shown below demonstrates past seismicity from the historical and instrumental components of the SARA catalogue and the red and blue stars show the epicenter of the Muisne Earthquake according to the USGS and Istituto Geofisico in Quito, respectively.
