Where does the earthquake data come from?

All earthquake data comes from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) public feeds, refreshed automatically every 90 seconds.

How often is the earthquake map updated?

The map auto-refreshes every 90 seconds, respecting the USGS rate limits (minimum 60-second interval between requests).

Can I filter earthquakes by magnitude and time?

Yes. Use the sidebar filters to select time ranges (past hour, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days) and minimum magnitudes (M1.0+, M2.5+, M4.5+, or significant events), and sort by latest or strongest.

What should I do during a strong earthquake?

This site is for information only. During shaking: drop, cover, and hold on. Afterward, follow guidance from your local civil-protection authorities and check official USGS event pages.

Bashige Live Global Earthquake Monitor

Real-time global earthquake tracking, powered by USGS data

Bashige Live Global Earthquake Monitor is a free, real-time earthquake tracker. It visualizes recent earthquakes around the world — from minor M1 tremors to major M6+ events — on an interactive Esri satellite map, using official U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) feeds refreshed every 90 seconds.

How to use the earthquake map

Choose a time range: past hour, past 24 hours, past 7 days, or past 30 days.
Filter by magnitude: M1.0+, M2.5+, M4.5+, or significant earthquakes.
Sort by latest or strongest, then click any event to zoom to its epicenter.
Open the linked USGS event page for depth, felt reports, and tsunami alerts.

Why track earthquakes live?

See earthquakes today as they are published by seismograph networks.
Compare aftershock sequences after a large mainshock.
Check tsunami-flagged events and pager alerts before traveling.
Embed awareness: this monitor is informational — always follow official guidance in an emergency.
