❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How often is the earthquake data updated?
A: This site's earthquake data automatically syncs every 10 minutes with the latest reports from Taiwan's Central Weather Administration (CWA) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with EMSC and HKO as supplementary cross-check sources.
Q: Why are some earthquakes under M6.0 shown?
A: Events in Taiwan of M4.0 or greater that the Central Weather Administration has issued a report on are shown individually; outside Taiwan, the focus is on globally significant earthquakes of M6.0 or greater, which release enormous energy and affect a wide area, making them a priority for real-time disaster-preparedness reference.
Q: What does the tsunami-warning tag mean?
A: When a reporting agency issues a tsunami warning or tsunami watch advisory, the system automatically flags the card with a red tsunami-alert indicator, prompting coastal residents to take precautions.
