💨 Abstract

On March 21, 2025, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake occurred in Panama, located at a shallow depth of 10km, increasing the risk of aftershocks. Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous due to stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures. Panama City, a commercial hub, has tall buildings with a mix of residential and commercial occupancies.
