This is the new version of Felt Classic - for any earthquake including aftershocks

All replies will be confidential, and we will only report on general trends. Filling in the questionnaire implies that you are consenting to participate. The data collected from this survey will be accessed by the researchers only.The survey will take around 10 minutes to complete and we would greatly appreciate your help.
