The one on November 22, 1815 was the deadliest: NOAA records 11,453 deaths for it. NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes has 12 here, back to 1593. NOAA records deaths in 12 of the events here, 14,448 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 4.9 on September 7, 2024 (11 km NE of Ubud, Indonesia). NOAA’s record here begins in 1593 with an eruption (Raung). It grows thinner going back: 8 of the 12 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here are from 1927 on. NOAA lists 3 tsunamis that began within 100 km of Negara, and 3 from elsewhere that reached it with deaths or a metre of water or more. The highest water NOAA records here was 13.9 m, on June 2, 1994. The deadliest, on November 22, 1815, killed 1,200 people here by NOAA’s runup records.

• An event counts for Negara when it began within 100 km of its centre, or 200 km for an earthquake of magnitude 7 or more. Damage can reach further.
• USGS counts here start at magnitude 6: the catalogue’s smaller quakes thin out going back, where few instruments listened.
• NOAA lists significant events only: earthquakes that killed, did about $1 million of damage, reached magnitude 7.5 or intensity X, or raised a tsunami, and eruptions and tsunamis by like measures. Magnitudes before 1900 are its estimates from written accounts.
• Deaths are NOAA’s total for each event, wherever people died, its tsunami and fires included. A tsunami counts the dead its runup records give for this place: NOAA’s total for a tsunami includes its source quake’s.
• A tsunami from elsewhere counts where one of its runups killed or rose a metre or more.
• Counted to October 19, 2026, as is the map. The last 30 days ask USGS again.
