The Nevada Broadcast of Earthquakes

The Nevada Broadcast of Earthquakes is an experimental earthquake warning and response system.
NBE is a project of the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The NBE provides a similar facility to the USGS Calif./Nev. quake maps, but tailored to a Nevada audience. At present the NBE only reports earthquakes having magnitudes of 1.2 and above. Earthquakes below magnitude 4.5 are only reported by the NBE in Nevada and certain adjacent parts of eastern California and northwestern Arizona.

Please call (775) 784-4975 to verify any event reported here. Disclaimers...

Test out the Nevada ShakeMaps, or the NBE search page.

Event origin times are now given in Pacific Time, not UTC. Below each entry is the distance from the nearest city or town. Each of those lines links to a Google Maps view centered on the event's epicenter, but the location is not marked.

-> "Prelim": Entries are PRELIMINARY and have NOT BEEN HUMAN REVIEWED <-
             Only events with Local Mag. >= 1.0 and No. pha >= 10 are posted.

             All such events are posted, regardless of magnitude or # phases.

Please call (775) 784-4975 to verify any Prelim event reported here.

   Prelim entries may contain ERRORS and may be UPDATED or DELETED at any time.
   Prelim entries have up to a 50% chance of not representing any actual earthquake.
   Prelim entries with origin times within 30 seconds may represent a single event.
   "No. pha" means the number of arrival times used in locating the event and is
   an indicator of the quality of the location.

   This is a list of the previous 100 automated (or updated) locations recorded 
   by the Nevada Seismological Laboratory.  All times are Greenwich Mean Time.
   Subtract 8 hours for Pacific Standard time, and 7 hours for Pacific Daylight
   time.  Depths are in kilometers.  Magnitudes are estimated as "local magnitudes" 
   from the horizontal components of digital stations.
                                                                                
   The Nevada Seismological Lab is a member of the Council of the National
   Seismic System.

The Nevada Seismological Laboratory hopes to continually increase the reliability of this system. Rapid earthquake locations are also available to the public on display terminals located at the Seismological Lab next to our earthquake helicorder display.

Large earthquakes may also appear within a few minutes on the NSL Helicorder Camera.

Disclaimer: The information included in these documents is intended to improve earthquake preparedness; however, it does not guarantee the safety of an individual structure or facility. The State of Nevada does not assume liability for any injury, death, or property damage that occurs in connection with an earthquake.

Locations and magnitudes of seismic events within approximately 50 km of Yucca Mountain are preliminary information only. Please contact the Yucca Mountain Project Technical Library (URL = http://www.ymp.gov/reference) to obtain quality-assured technical data relating to seismic activity or other natural phenomena near Yucca Mountain. More disclaimers...

The NBE may show events occurring outside our monitoring network, giving them erroneous locations near the network's borders. Always check the analyst-reviewed locations on our Recent Earthquakes page. The NBE is a tool for rapid earthquake notification and response, and does not produce an accurate record of earthquake locations.
