Map showing most affected regions of Myanmar, showing shake intensity and 2 epicenters of earthquake.
This map shows shake intensity and two epi-centers for the #Myanmar #Earthquake. This map can help emergency response coordinators to:
a) gain a quick overview of scale of situation
b) identify where greatest aid needs likely to be.

In the wake of the #earthquake affecting #Mynamar and #Thailand, @mapaction.bsky.social
