Frequently asked questions
Was there an earthquake in Indonesia today?
Yes — 19 earthquakes of magnitude 3.5 or above were recorded in the last 24 hours. The list on this page is rebuilt every 30 minutes, newest first.
How many earthquakes does Indonesia get?
1007 of magnitude 3.5 or above in the last 30 days, 136 of them in the last 7. Most are too small to feel; that is normal for a seismically active region.
What was the biggest recent earthquake in Indonesia?
Magnitude 7.8 on August 14, 2026, 64 km NNW of Ende, Indonesia, at a depth of 10.0 km. 52 people reported feeling it.
How deep are earthquakes in Indonesia?
In the last 30 days they ranged from 3.0 km to 540.0 km deep. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly near the epicentre; deep ones are felt weakly over a wider area.
How can I get earthquake alerts for Indonesia?
Install the free SeismoWatch Android app, draw a box over Indonesia, set a minimum magnitude, and turn alerts on. Alerts are sent after an event is published, so they are not an early warning.
Where does this data come from?
From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) global catalog and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), deduplicated. Each event links to its own page with the full record.
The strongest earthquakes recorded in Indonesia since 1960
The 10 largest events of magnitude 6.0 or above in the Indonesia monitoring area, from the USGS catalog. Recent activity is best read against this: a region's ordinary weeks look very different from its worst days.

Coverage and data notes
Events are preliminary, so magnitudes and locations may be revised. This page uses a rectangular monitoring area around Indonesia, so border areas and nearby offshore zones can include events outside the administrative boundary. Completeness varies: a national network usually records more small earthquakes than the catalogs used here, so treat the counts as a floor rather than a census.
Event data: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) and, in Venezuela, FUNVISIS. Populated places and time zones: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Preliminary solutions are revised as more observations arrive.
