Distances are measured from the centre of Suwon. Whether an earthquake is felt depends on its magnitude, its depth and the ground, so a small shallow earthquake close by can be felt more than a larger deep one further away.
What to do in an earthquake
Drop to your hands and knees, take cover under a sturdy table, and hold on until the shaking stops. Do not run outside during shaking — most injuries come from falling objects and debris near doorways and walls.
