Common Questions
How can I find earthquakes near my location?
Click 'Use my location' to allow precise geolocation, or search for your city. We show all earthquakes recorded by the USGS within your chosen radius (25–500 km) over the past 24 hours, 30 days, or year.
Was there an earthquake near me today?
Today globally: 216 earthquakes worldwide detected by USGS, including 6 of magnitude 5.0 or greater. Largest: M5.9 42 km NNW of Te Anau, New Zealand, 5 hours ago. Use the location tool below for earthquake data specific to your location.
Did I just feel an earthquake?
Check the timestamp of the most recent earthquake near your location. If shaking occurred within the past 30 minutes, it may match a USGS-detected event. If you felt shaking but no earthquake appears, it may be below detection threshold or outside the search radius.
How close is the nearest fault line to me?
Most US population centers are within 100 km of at least one mapped fault. San Diego is 5 km from the Rose Canyon Fault; Los Angeles is 8 km from the Newport-Inglewood Fault; Seattle sits directly above the Seattle Fault Zone. Check our city pages for details.
How often do earthquakes happen near major US cities?
Activity varies dramatically. San Diego averages ~10 magnitude 4.0+ earthquakes per year; Los Angeles averages ~18; Seattle ~3; New York ~0.15. The USGS detects 150–300 earthquakes globally each day.
Can I get earthquake alerts for my area?

About This Page
Earthquakes Near Me uses the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Program data to show seismic activity within your chosen radius. Location detection happens in your browser only — your location is not sent to our servers.
The USGS detects effectively all earthquakes of magnitude 2.5+ in populated US areas via the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS). Smaller events (M1.0–2.4) are detected in regions with dense seismic monitoring (California, Alaska, Pacific Northwest). Data refreshes every 5 minutes.
