Recent Earthquakes in the WorldEarthquake Now: Live Alerts and Early Warning
When a fault ruptures, fast P-waves travel through the crust ahead of the damaging S-waves. Earthquakes Alert publishes each new earthquake within seconds of the USGS solution, with magnitude, depth and location, so you can see the latest earthquake anywhere in the world as soon as it is recorded.
Earthquake Near Me: Did You Feel It?
How strongly an earthquake is felt depends on distance, depth and local ground. Use earthquake near me to check whether shaking you felt was an earthquake, and how far away it was.
Aftershocks After a Large Earthquake
Large earthquakes are followed by aftershocks that decay over days to weeks. The aftershock tracker follows active sequences after major M6+ earthquakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see the latest earthquakes and earthquake now updates?
The live table on this page lists the latest earthquakes worldwide, newest first, and refreshes every 60 seconds from the USGS. If you searched for earthquake.com or "earthquake now", this is the same kind of real-time tracker: open recent earthquakes in the world for the full 24-hour list, or earthquake near me to check shaking around your location.
Was there an earthquake just now today?
The live table above shows every earthquake recorded today, newest first. If you felt shaking just now, it usually appears within a few minutes; check earthquake near me to see how far away it was, and turn on earthquake alerts to be told next time.
How quickly are earthquakes published?
Automated detection registers most earthquakes within 30 to 180 seconds, depending on how dense the local seismograph network is. Magnitudes are refined as more stations report.
Why does earthquake depth matter?
Shallow earthquakes (0 to 70 km deep) cause much stronger shaking at the surface than deep ones (300 km or more) of the same magnitude.
What should you do when a strong earthquake hits?
Drop to your hands and knees, cover your head and neck under a sturdy table, and hold on until the shaking stops. Stay away from windows and outside walls.
