EEFIT Colombia 2026: Remote Sensing Support Report

September 5, 2026

This report was developed to support the UK Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) mission to conduct reconnaissance for the Mw 7.4 Colombia earthquake.

The report uses satellite imagery to assess priority areas ahead of a field team mission in Quibdó, Armenia, Pereira, Manizales, Quimbaya, Sevilla, and Cali. The report also provides an overview of the earthquake, including estimates of shaking intensity, loss estimates, and potential ground failure throughout the region.
