How does the page know where I am, and is my location saved?

Your browser shares an approximate position only after you allow it. The position stays in this page's memory: it is not stored, not added to the URL and only sent, rounded, to fetch the earthquakes and the local seismic summary. Without permission the page uses a rough area from your time zone and marks it as approximate.

How far away can an earthquake be felt?

It depends on magnitude and depth. A magnitude 3 quake is usually felt within a few tens of kilometres, a magnitude 5 within roughly 150–250 km, and a magnitude 7 can be felt 500 km away or more. The “Likely felt” mark uses the distance at which a quake of that size and depth typically reaches intensity II, the threshold at which people at rest notice shaking.

Why did I feel a tremor that is not on the list?

Agencies publish small quakes with a delay of a few minutes, and quakes below about magnitude 2 far from seismic stations may not be recorded at all. Heavy traffic, construction or a sonic boom can also feel like a tremor. Check again in a few minutes, or widen the radius.

How can I get alerts for earthquakes near me?

Open the Alerts page and choose your area and minimum magnitude: notifications are sent by Telegram, e-mail or browser push. The alerts use the same catalogue as this page.

Earthquakes Near Me

Every earthquake recorded around you in the past 24 hours and 7 days: how far away it was, how strong, and whether it was likely felt where you are. Your exact position is never stored or sent anywhere.

How this page works

With your permission, the browser shares an approximate position. Without it, the page uses a rough area from your time zone.
Earthquakes come from the same merged catalogue as the live map: USGS, EMSC and regional networks, updated every minute.
“Likely felt” means you were inside the distance at which a quake of that magnitude and depth is usually noticed (intensity II or more).
Smaller quakes far from seismic networks can appear minutes late or not at all.

Press “Show earthquakes near me” and allow location access: the page lists every quake recorded within 100, 300 or 1,000 km in the past 24 hours or 7 days, nearest first, with its distance and magnitude. Data comes from USGS, EMSC and regional networks and refreshes every minute, though a small local quake can take a few minutes to appear.
