The earthquake swarm related to Taʻū Island continues. In the past 24 hours, no felt earthquakes were reported by people on the Manuʻa Islands, says the US Geological Survey.
The frequency of earthquakes in the past 24 hours has levelled out, but remains low following the pattern of decreasing seismicity over the past week. The lower number of earthquakes does not mean the earthquake swarm will end.
The magnitude 7.6 earthquake in Papua New Guinea was detected across the USGS seismic network in the Manuʻa Islands.
The FAGA broadband seismometer is transmitting data again as of yesterday. Installation of the two GPS stations on Taʻū Island is complete.
The satellite data from the previous 24 hours observed no volcanic activity.
