Recent earthquakes (USGS)

Changed on

Recent earthquakes from the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program public-domain feeds, normalized to the Sugra CAP-aligned hazard event schema. Filter by time window, bounding box, minimum magnitude and time range. Sugra retransmits authoritative USGS events and does not issue earthquake warnings.
