The tremor's epicentre was in the Black Sea, south-east of the Kaliakra Horn, 63km north-east of Varna and two km beneath the surface of the sea. Seismologists are now working to determine how far and to what extent the earthquake was felt around the country.

According to Dnevnik daily, the earthquake had a magnitude of 4.7 on the Richter scale. People in the area have said the tremor was felt strongly in Dobrich, particularly in single family houses and even on lower floors of apartment blocks. Reports say that the tremor was horizontal.

Bulgariassa kesät ovat yleensä kuumia ja talvella sataa lunta. Mustanmeren rannikko muistuttaa ilmastoltaan Etelä-Euroopan Välimeren alueita. Talvella vuoristoseudulla liikuttaessa tulee autoon varata kettingit, nastarenkailla Bulgariassa ei saa ajaa. Teiden kunnossapito talvella vuoristossa vaihtelee suuresti paikkakunnasta riippuen. Voimakkaat ja runsaat sateet aiheuttavat niin maanvyörymiä kuin tulvia.

Bulgaria on seismistä aluetta ja maajäristyksen mahdollisuus on aina olemassa. Maanjäristyksen sattuessa tulee säilyttää rauhallisuus. Maanjäristyksen alkaessa on parasta pysyä sisällä ja hakeutua heti turvalliseen paikkaan (huoneen vahvimmat kohdat) ja vältettävä tulitikkujen ja kynttilöiden käyttöä järistyksen aikana. Jos olet ulkona järistyksen alkaessa, pysyttele poissa rakennusten ja voimajohtojen läheisyydestä ja jos olet autossa, pysy sisällä. Järistystä ei tule koskaan aliarvioida. Järistyksen päätyttyä kaikkien on poistuttava heti rakennuksesta vain portaita pitkin. Väentungos voi olla vaarallisempi kuin itse järistys.
