Earthquakes near Situbondo, 1927–2026

The one on October 10, 2018 was the deadliest: NOAA records 4 deaths for it. 5 earthquakes here in these years are on NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes. NOAA records deaths in 4 of the events here, 191 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 6 on September 30, 2025 (31 km ESE of Kalianget, Indonesia). NOAA lists one tsunami that began within 100 km of Situbondo, and one 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 here came on June 2, 1994 from a magnitude 7.8 earthquake (South Of Java): NOAA’s runup records count 185 deaths within 100 km of Situbondo. NOAA lists 3 significant eruptions of one volcano within 100 km of Situbondo.

• An event counts for Situbondo 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.
