Union, Philippines — A magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck near the town of Union in the Philippines on Sunday morning, the U.S. Geological Survey reports.

What happened:

The quake hit at 8:17 AM Central Time, which was 10:17 PM local time Sunday night in the Philippines. It was centered about 27 kilometers, or 17 miles, east-southeast of Union, at a depth of about 10 kilometers, or 6 miles, below the surface. It came about half an hour after a stronger magnitude 5.5 quake struck near the same area Sunday morning.

Impacts:

The Geological Survey lists no felt reports for this quake and no tsunami threat. No damage reports have come in so far. Because it struck at a shallow depth, people near the epicenter may have felt light shaking.

What to do:

If you feel shaking, drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy table or desk, and hold on until the shaking stops. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall. Once the shaking stops, check yourself and those around you for injuries, look for hazards like damaged gas lines or broken glass, and be ready for aftershocks, which can follow in the hours after a quake.
