Earthquake alert

If a quake above your chosen magnitude is recorded near your city, we alert you with a beep and a notification.
Near within magnitude from

    The alert works while this page is open, and fires once the seismic centres have recorded a quake (usually a few minutes later); it is not a warning before a quake. Settings are stored on this device only.

    What does magnitude mean?

    Magnitude classes from the US Geological Survey (USGS)
    • below 3Micro — usually not felt
    • 3–3.9Minor — often felt near the epicentre; damage very rare
    • 4–4.9Light — felt in the area, objects shake; serious damage unlikely
    • 5–5.9Moderate — can damage weak buildings near the epicentre
    • 6–6.9Strong — can cause damage in populated areas
    • 7+Major — can cause serious damage over a wide area

    What to do in an earthquake

    1. Drop onto your hands and knees so the shaking cannot knock you down.
    2. Cover your head and neck, under a sturdy table if you can.
    3. Hold on until the shaking stops. Keep away from windows and shelves.

    FAQ

    Where and when was the latest earthquake in Iran?

    The latest recorded earthquake, magnitude 4.0, struck 46 km NE of Kangan, Fars province at 28 Oct 2026, 04:21 Tehran time, at a depth of 10 km.

    Why does the magnitude differ slightly between sources?

    Each seismic centre estimates magnitude with its own stations and method, and the number may be revised in the first hours. We show the USGS magnitude and, when EMSC recorded the same quake, its number next to it.

    Does this page warn before an earthquake?

    No. No scientific centre can predict when or where an earthquake will strike. This page shows quakes after the seismic centres record them, usually within minutes.

    What is the smallest quake shown here?

    Earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or more in Iran and neighbouring countries (latitude 24–41° N, longitude 43–64° E) over the past 30 days.

    Data: USGS (US Geological Survey) and EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre). Nearest city and province are calculated from the epicentre coordinates (GeoNames, geoBoundaries). Times are Tehran time.
