Latest activity
Significant earthquakes from the past 30 days and volcanic eruptions currently ongoing, pulled live from USGS and NASA. Below them, the official bulletins worth following directly.
Earthquakes and eruptions cannot be predicted. No scientific body issues advance warnings of a specific quake, and anyone claiming to is wrong. What can be published is what has just happened, and what is currently ongoing. That is what this page shows. For genuine advance warning of a tsunami after a quake, follow your national warning centre.
