What this map covers, and what it does not
- Earthquakes. Worldwide, M4.5 and above, from the USGS feed as collected daily since early September. Smaller earthquakes are not included. Data as of 2026-10-22 14:21 UTC. Source: USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. Open the full earthquakes tracker.
- Volcanoes. US-monitored volcanoes only, and only those at an elevated alert level. Volcanoes elsewhere in the world are not shown, and an elevated alert is not an eruption in progress. Data as of 2026-10-22 14:21 UTC. Source: USGS Hazards Notification System (HANS). Open the full volcanoes tracker.
- Tsunami messages. Official messages from NOAA's two warning centres only, not other countries' services and not worldwide. A message is not evidence a tsunami occurred. Data as of 2026-10-23 06:25 UTC. Source: NOAA tsunami.gov (NTWC and PTWC). Open the full tsunami messages tracker.
- Observed tsunamis. Probable and definite tsunamis from NOAA's reviewed catalogue, only the recent window the site has collected (current and previous calendar year). The catalogue can lag events. Data as of 2026-10-17 13:10 UTC. Source: NOAA NCEI Global Historical Tsunami Database. Open the full observed tsunamis tracker. 6 records have no coordinates in the source and cannot be mapped; they are listed below instead.
