KOTA KINABALU — The Malaysian Meteorological Department (MET Malaysia) operates a comprehensive network of 28 seismic stations across Sabah to provide round-the-clock monitoring of earthquake activity in the region.
The extensive monitoring system allows MET Malaysia to detect, measure, and analyse seismic events as they occur, providing critical data for disaster preparedness and public safety. The stations are strategically positioned across the state to capture detailed information about ground movements and tectonic activity.
The continuous surveillance capability represents a significant commitment to earthquake monitoring in Sabah, a region prone to seismic activity due to its position along active fault lines in the Ring of Fire. Real-time data from the network enables rapid assessment of earthquake magnitude and location, facilitating timely dissemination of information to relevant authorities and the public.
MET Malaysia's monitoring efforts support broader efforts to enhance earthquake resilience and improve emergency response capabilities throughout Sabah. The department works closely with other agencies to integrate seismic data into disaster management and building safety protocols across the state.
