The Berkeley Seismo Lab (BSL) collaborates with the USGS Menlo Park to automatically determine earthquake parameters within minutes after an event. Together, the BSL and the USGS are responsible for reporting on northern California earthquakes as part of the statewide monitoring effort know as the California Integrated Seismic Network.
As part of our monitoring and archiving operations, the BSL provides access to a broad range of earthquake information:
Did You Feel It?
Report your shaking experience to the USGS with this online form. You can also browse
archives
of felt reports for past California earthquakes
Real-Time Earthquake Map
Real-time, clickable earthquake map interface, hosted by the USGS. Zoom and pan around the global map, or
jump to a map for a particular region, like California.
Earthquake Hot Line
The Berkeley Seismological Laboratory maintains an "Earthquake Hotline" which is open to the public. The taped message is updated after earthquakes of note. Both local and distant earthquakes are reported. The Hotline phone number is 510-642-2160EQ Special Reports
California Integrated Seismic Network archive of special reports on earthquakes of interest.
The Berkeley Seismological Laboratory contributes reports for Northern California, while
Southern California reports are contributed by the SCSN.

Take a quick look at the last 24 hours of data from our stations throughout Northern California. Statewide seismograms from the USGS are also available Also from the USGS, seismograms from stations all over the world can be viewed by clicking a triangle, then clicking the "heliplot" tab. Southern California's Webicorder also shows seismigrams from select stations.
