Swiss Seismological Service

The Swiss Seismological Service (SED), based at ETH Zurich, monitors earthquakes in Switzerland and surrounding regions. Using a network of sensitive seismometers, it detects and records seismic activity, providing real-time information about earthquakes' size, location, and depth. Its work helps assess earthquake risk, inform public safety measures, and support scientific research. The service also issues alerts and reports to authorities, businesses, and the public to enhance preparedness and resilience against seismic events in Switzerland.
