The earthquake information delivered through Bigquake notifications is

preliminary. Subsequent review usually results in some revision to the

data, and all users are advised to check the USGS earthquake program

pages at http://earthquake.usgs.gov for updates. Data users are

cautioned to consider carefully the provisional nature of the information

before using it for decisions that concern personal or public safety or

the conduct of business that involves substantial monetary or operational

consequences. Earthquakes are a common occurrence, and many are either

not large enough to cause damage or not located sufficiently close to

populations centers to produce damage. This e-mail does not imply an

impending threat.

 

Bigquake is an informational tool and NOT an earthquake or tsunami

warning system. The USGS does not produce tsunami warnings. For the

information about tsunamis, please refer to the information given in

the NOAA website http://tsunami.gov.

 

Events of magnitude 6.5 or greater are generally reviewed and posted to

Bigquake within 2 hours of their occurrence and events of magnitude 5.5

to 6.5 are generally posted to Bigquake within 24 hours. Additionally,

processing and sending the messages typically takes 30 minutes. The USGS

cannot guarantee the receipt or timeliness of an e-mail after sending.

 

You will continue to receive messages like this when earthquakes occur

that have magnitude 5.5 or greater anywhere in the world OR 4.5 or greater

in the contiguous US, Hawaii, and Alaska (excluding the Aleutian Islands).
