What the record holds

It was also the deadliest: NOAA records one death for it. One earthquake here in these years is on NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes. NOAA records deaths in 24 of the events here, 933 in all. NOAA lists 3 tsunamis from elsewhere that reached the coast within 100 km of Pasuruan with deaths or a metre of water or more. The highest water NOAA records here was 4.3 m, on June 2, 1994. NOAA lists 27 significant eruptions of 3 volcanoes within 100 km of Pasuruan. The largest was Kelud on August 31, 1951, at 4 on the volcanic explosivity index.

The events

Good to know

  • An event counts for Pasuruan 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.
