Earthquake Near Me: Find the Closest Quakes Now

Key context

How this page works

When you tap the button, your browser asks whether to share your location. If you agree, the page downloads the list of every M2.5+ quake USGS recorded in the past 30 days (about 2,000 quakes), measures the distance from you to each one and shows the nearest 15. The calculation runs on your device; MonitorWorld never receives your position.

The city and ZIP search uses an offline list of about 8,000 cities and US ZIP code areas from GeoNames. A US ZIP code is matched to the centre of its area, which is precise to a few tens of kilometres: close enough to find nearby quakes.

What to do if you feel a quake

If you feel shaking: Drop, Cover and Hold On until it stops. Stay away from windows and heavy furniture, and do not run outside during the shaking. On a coast, strong or long shaking is a natural tsunami warning: move to high ground or inland at once, on foot if you can. Then follow your local officials; this page is not a warning service.
