Yes, that is where the greatest action is centered. But 'damage' is judged in human cost (buildings, lives, etc.), so if the epicenter is far from civilization, 'damage' is slight.
What scale provides data for intensity maps of earthquake damage?
The Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is commonly used to provide data for intensity maps of earthquake damage. It measures the effects of an earthquake at a specific location based on observed damage and human perception. The scale ranges from I (not felt) to XII (total destruction).
