GLOBAL SEISMIC CATALOG / ICDO MEMBER STATE REPORTS

Earthquake Activity

Instrumental earthquake observations from USGS and EMSC/FDSN, with a separate view of reported incidents in ICDO Member States.

Situation Overview
24 hours 72 hours 7 days
Snapshot UTC

The seismic catalog covers the whole world, not only ICDO Member States. Magnitudes and epicentres are from USGS/EMSC. Country-specific incident reports are a separate source and are not counted as instrumental observations.

03 / GLOBAL OBSERVATION FREQUENCY

Earthquakes by UTC day

Daily counts include only seismic events with a recorded magnitude and valid epicentre. They describe observed activity, not reported humanitarian impact.

04 / MEMBER STATE INCIDENT REPORTING

Source reports by Member State

These are incident registry reports, not counts of earthquakes located within each country's boundaries. Unmatched country labels are excluded.
