We welcome questions, data corrections, and suggestions from readers, researchers, and journalists. You can reach the QuakeBeat team by email at info@seoforce.es, and we do our best to reply within one or two business days.
Please note that QuakeBeat is an independent informational website and not an emergency service. For real emergencies, always contact your local authorities and follow official evacuation orders immediately — our platform complements, but never replaces, official channels.
Readers frequently write in to report a data discrepancy between our live map and an official source, to request additional regional coverage, or to ask how a specific magnitude or depth reading was calculated. We also hear from students and educators looking for classroom-friendly explanations of seismic concepts, and from disaster-preparedness professionals interested in citing our historical earthquake records.
Journalists and researchers covering seismic events are welcome to reach out for context, historical comparisons, or permission to reference QuakeBeat's guides. We are also open to partnership conversations with schools, emergency-preparedness organizations, and other earthquake-focused projects that share our commitment to accurate, publicly sourced data.
Before writing in, many visitors find their answer faster in our glossary of terms, our earthquake & volcano guides, or the historical record of the biggest earthquakes. If your question is not covered there, we are still happy to help directly by email.
Earthquake events from USGS typically appear on our live map within minutes of detection. Depth and magnitude figures may be revised slightly as seismic networks refine their initial readings, which is normal in official seismology.
Yes — if you spot a date, magnitude, or location that doesn't match the official USGS, NOAA NCEI, or IGN record, email us with a link to the page and the correct figure, and we will review and correct it.
We don't currently offer a public API, but we're happy to discuss data-sharing or embedding arrangements for research and educational projects — reach out and describe your use case.
No. QuakeBeat is an independent project that aggregates and presents publicly available data from USGS, NOAA NCEI, and IGN. We are not an official government or emergency-response service.
Absolutely. We are steadily expanding our regional coverage of earthquake activity, from major seismic zones like Japan and Chile to smaller cities with active fault lines. Send us the name of the region and, if you have it, a brief note on why it matters to you or your community, and we will add it to our roadmap.
You're welcome to link directly to the relevant page on QuakeBeat and cite the underlying official source (USGS, NOAA NCEI, or IGN) alongside it, since that is where the raw measurements originate. For anything more formal, email us and we can confirm the exact wording and dataset version you referenced.
Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. If you'd like to be notified when we launch region-specific earthquake alerts or a periodic seismic-activity digest, let us know by email and we'll add you to the early-access list once it's ready.
Please email us a short description of what you saw, the page URL, and your browser or device if relevant. Screenshots help a lot. We treat broken map markers, incorrect links, and rendering issues as a priority and usually fix confirmed bugs within a few days.
We occasionally consider well-researched guest contributions from seismologists, geologists, or emergency-management professionals. We don't accept paid links or low-quality guest posts. If you have relevant expertise, introduce yourself and your proposed topic by email.
