Earthquake pages are USGS pages. A local emergency notice is a different document.

USGS earthquake pages are the public scientific record. Magnitude, location, and updates belong there. A county emergency hearing or a building-official notice is a different record with a different audience. If you publish a local notice after a felt event, write what the local board will do. Link the USGS event page if you cite it. Do not paste the event summary as if it were your legal advertisement. This desk is not reporting a quake. It is reminding filers that scientific pages and affidavit pages are not the same genre. Publisher rewrite. No Stripe payment. — Publisher desk rewrite.
