Latest Earthquakes in the World - Past 7 days
The map below shows earthquakes with M4.5+ located by USGS and contributing agencies in the past seven days. The Department of the Interior has allocated $29.4 million dollars under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to modernize the Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) by doubling the number of ANSS-quality stations and upgrading seismic networks nationwide, to bring the total from approximately 800 to 1600. These improved networks will deliver faster, more reliable and more accurate information – helping to save lives by providing better situational awareness in the wake of the damaging earthquakes that can strike this nation at any time.
