Disclaimer

Not an official warning system. Quake Tracker Live is an informational website. It does not issue official earthquake, tsunami or other hazard warnings.

Data may be preliminary and can change

Earthquake information comes from seismological networks and is often produced automatically within minutes of an event. Magnitude, depth, location and time can change, an event can be removed, and some earthquakes may be missing, delayed or incomplete. Different networks may report different values for the same earthquake. Email alerts, when they launch, will be sent after an event is reported and can be delayed or missed; they are not an early warning.

Emergencies

In an emergency, follow the instructions of your local authorities and official agencies (for example, your national civil-protection service, the U.S. Geological Survey or the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center). If you feel strong shaking: drop, cover and hold on.
