JEDDAH: The Saudi Geological Survey (SGS) has denied social media allegations that an earthquake warning was issued for the city of Jeddah. Through its official Twitter account, the authority verified that no ground tremors have been detected and confirmed that the National Center for Earthquakes and Volcanoes, part of SGS, had not detected any seismic activity in Jeddah. The statements comes amid rumors that circulated on social media claiming that a warning had been issued for an earthquake measuring from three to 5.5 on the richter scale, according to various unofficial sources. The Makkah governorate urged citizens and residents not to believe rumors they view online and asserted the need for people to trust viable information from accurate sources. Meanwhile, SGS continued an earthquake and volcano awareness and education campaign in Riyadh to educate students about the natural phenomena, how to deal with earthquakes before, during and after their occurrence and show them the role of the National Center for Earthquakes and Volcanoes in monitoring and tracking seismic activity in the Kingdom.
