This is an automated web page produced after a significant earthquake to give essential information about the earthquake, its aftershocks, and previous earthquake activity in the region. Some of the information here will be updated as aftershocks occur.

SHAKE MAP list for PNSN - For certain earthquakes a map of shaking intensity based on measurements from strong-motion seismographs will be available.

DID YOU FEEL IT index search for PNSN - You can report shaking and damage at your location. You can also view a map displaying a summary of data received from all reports.

Maps and History of Earthquakes in this Region

A map of the Pacific Northwest showing the location of the mainshock (in red) plus prior earthquakes M > 3.0. Shallow events are black. Events deeper than 35 km are green.
A map showing a closer view of the earthquake and prior historical earthquakes with magnitude 3.0 or greater. Shallow events are black. Events deeper than 35 km are green.
A list of 10 big earthquakes preceding the mainshock that are closest to it and have a magnitude greater than 4.0. These are the most significant historical earthquakes in the vicinity of the mainshock (see closer view map above).
