The current catalog entry does not include a public felt-report count. Other attached observation fields include catalog significance score 500. No official casualty or damage statement is attached to the normalized event evidence.

The USGS Week catalog currently marks the solution as reviewed. No station-count, phase-count, residual, gap, or uncertainty fields were supplied in the normalized record. Other agency solutions retained for this same origin are EMSC Global M5.6. These are alternate reported solutions, not additional earthquakes.
