The recent 5.0 magnitude tremor serves as a reminder that residents must maintain constant preparedness for more significant seismic events. While this earthquake caused no major damage, Assam's history of devastating quakes demands respect for the region's seismic power. Continued vigilance, proper construction practices, and emergency preparedness remain essential for minimizing future earthquake impacts.](https://technosports.co.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/quakemap-21525106-350x250.jpg)
