Like the rest of the state, Pakenham was rocked Wednesday morning by a magnitude 5.9 earthquake, as recorded by Geoscience Australia.
Pakenham SES only received one call out for help, which was for minor damage to house.
There was a possible movement of a roof tile and possible minor cracks in the ceiling inside.
SES volunteers placed plastic over the tile and held it down with sand bags until it could be checked by a professional.
Pakenham SES media officer Shayne Honey said if anyone noticed damage to their property, the SES would happily respond.
“Most people would be home and would have checked their homes already but the SES manages the emergency response earthquakes in Victoria,“ he said.
Call 13 2500 for assistance.
