Throughout the period from January to September 2026, approximately 2,200 earthquakes were officially registered across Uzbekistan. These statistics highlight the ongoing geological activity within the region and underscore the continuous need for reliable hazard detection and mitigation frameworks.

According to Khurshid Sotiev, Head of the Emergency Prevention Department, speaking at a conference dedicated to disaster risk reduction and preparations for the autumn-winter season, the country has integrated its domestic monitoring network with data from neighboring Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan to enhance observation accuracy.

The national observation network currently comprises 108 seismic stations, which have now been supplemented by 57 additional stations from the three neighboring nations—specifically 26 from Kyrgyzstan, 15 from Tajikistan, and 16 from Kazakhstan. These facilities transmit telemetry data in real time utilizing the advanced SeisComP software suite.

Officials note that an early warning system is currently undergoing practical testing across Tashkent, as well as the Tashkent, Syrdarya, and Jizzakh regions. This cross-border technical cooperation follows a previously signed Joint Statement among Central Asian states aimed at bolstering regional seismic resilience.
