About USGS Earthquake History

Search the US Geological Survey earthquake catalog within a bounded radius or map area, review recent event feeds, and retrieve the current detail record for one event. Results keep magnitude, depth, time, location, and the USGS source page. An empty search does not prove there is no seismic hazard, and event history does not replace site engineering or a ground-motion study.
