Questions about earthquake data

How do I check whether an earthquake happened near me?

Open the nearby search and choose a search radius and time window. Use your location or look up a place. The radius is measured to the reported epicentre. You can also look up reports of local shaking on the USGS event page when they are available.

How current are the reports?

The U.S. Geological Survey usually refreshes its current GeoJSON feeds every minute. The time shown beside the list refers to the data returned by the source. An earthquake report may first be automatic, and its time, location or magnitude can change after review.

Why are some events missing from a country list?

Country lists classify the reported epicentre using mapped boundaries. An offshore quake can be felt on land and still appear only in the worldwide or nearby view. Catalogue coverage for small earthquakes also varies by region and period.

This is not an earthquake early-warning service. Coverage of small earthquakes varies by region.
