Here's the USGS summary
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000g7x7#summary
And the area in OSM. It's very remote.

The closest town is Khash.

Bing imagery is good over the region. Besides geometries, there do seem to be
some kind of local mappers adding POI.
No reports on the impact yet, though seems like relatively low? Since it's
within Iran, wouldn't expect there to be an international humanitarian
response. News reports mention Iranian Red Crescent involvement, not sure if
there's a relationship with Red Cross (Robert?).
My sense is that we can monitor, improve the geometries over Khash, could
attempt to reach out to Iranian mappers. Probably not a huge amount for us to
do?
