Going westward the fault split into two branches, a north-dipping reverse fault (north branch) and a right slip fault (south branch), but neither produced surface rupture. According to National Center for Seismology, the epicentre of the quake was located at 34km west of Assam's Tejpur with a depth of 17km. Health minister Yevgeniy Chazov urged the creation of a governmental body to assist with disaster management. Assam is an earthquake prone country.

Uneven distribution of the seismic energy may have also contributed to the fluctuation in damage. "[18], Many buildings did not hold up to the shaking of the earthquake and those that did collapse often lacked any survival space, but lack of effective medical care and poor planning also contributed to the substantial scope of the disaster. The development and understanding of the equivalent state theory were achieved in collaboration with many renowned colleagues, to name a few—my Ph.D. supervisor A/Professor Robert Lo (UNSW, Canberra), Professor Yannis Dafalias (University California, Davis), Professor Misko Cubrinovski (University Canterbury . 59.2 km from [9], The world responded rapidly to the disaster in Leninakan and Spitak, with much of Europe sending cargo aircraft loaded with medical supplies, rescue equipment, and trained personnel to assist in the recovery, and even more reinforcement coming in from Latin America and the Far East.

For many years following World War II the Soviets practiced a methodical top-down approach to urban planning and building, constructing a large number of uniformly built row style apartment units, and the Soviets plan for rebuilding Spitak did not diverge from that approach. The soviet geophysicists detonated 100 kilograms of TNT in a hole drilled near the mainshock epicenter and the resulting shock waves were detected and used to help pinpoint a more accurate crustal velocity value of 5.3 to 5.4 km/s. Latur was hit in 1993m killing 7,928 people.

Kothari earthquake damage risk associated for Guwahati urban area varies from very low, low, & medium for Type-C, Type-B, & Type-A houses respectively. The group, including a structural engineer who specialized in seismic-resistant designs, agreed that building inadequacies were the primary reason why the strong (but not huge) earthquake was so damaging, although the freezing temperatures also played a role in the unusually high death toll.
