What the record holds

The deadliest was not the strongest: a magnitude 7.4 on December 19, 1928 (10 km ESE of Basak, Philippines), for which NOAA records 97 deaths. NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes has 17 here, back to 1873. NOAA records deaths in 5 of the events here, 113 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 7.4 on October 10, 2025 (12 km E of Santiago, Philippines). NOAA’s record here begins on January 16, 1873 with an eruption (Ragang). 7 of the 17 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here came before 1927. NOAA lists one significant eruption of one volcano within 100 km of NIA Valencia. The largest was Ragang on January 16, 1873, at 2 on the volcanic explosivity index.

Good to know

  • An event counts for NIA Valencia 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.
