Put available USGS observations into context: felt reports, intensity, PAGER, tsunami flag, depth, nearby cities and local history.
Events with the largest number of felt reports in the Quake Pulse database.
02Events where the USGS tsunami field is enabled. This never replaces an official warning.
03The strongest and most notable events observed for each country in Quake Pulse.
These indicators describe data available after detection. They are neither a forecast nor a direct estimate of damage or individual risk.

Guides, explainers and practical reading to go beyond the live data.
Magnitude is only one part of the story. Depth, distance, local ground conditions and building vulnerability help explain why shaking can differ so much from one earthquake to another.

Earthquake-resistant design is not about making buildings immovable. It is about controlling forces, deformation and failure so people have a much better chance of staying safe.

Early-warning systems detect an earthquake after it starts and try to send an alert before the strongest shaking arrives. The difference between warning and prediction matters.
