QuakeIndex

Recent earthquakes

Every earthquake USGS publishes, with the four things people actually want: how big, where, when, and whether anyone felt it. Updated every 30 seconds. The largest in the period we currently hold is M 5.6, 74 km ESE of Kokopo, Papua New Guinea.

Was that an earthquake?

If you just felt something, check your location against the last hour. Small earthquakes can take a few minutes to reach the USGS catalogue, and that page says so rather than answering a flat no.

How this works

QuakeIndex reads the USGS real-time feed every 30 seconds and publishes a page for each event within a minute of USGS publishing it. Every number on this site shows when it was last updated and links to its source, and USGS remains the record of authority. The method, in full →

QuakeIndex does not issue warnings and does not forecast earthquakes. For earthquake early warning, ShakeAlert reaches phones through Wireless Emergency Alerts and the MyShake app.
