Earthquakes are common in Myanmar, which lies along the Sagaing Fault. The country experienced six quakes above 7.0 magnitude between 1930 and 1956, and a 6.8-magnitude tremor in Bagan in 2016 caused fatalities and damaged historic temples.  

Experts warn that Myanmar’s rapid urban expansion, crumbling infrastructure, and weak medical system make its cities particularly vulnerable to major disasters.
