Countries Without Earthquakes 2024

  • The strength of an earthquake is measured in magnitude (M), using either the well-known Richter Scale or an updated/renamed variant such as the Local Magnitude scale (ML) or the moment magnitude scale (Mw?), all of which are functionally interchangeable to the casual user.
  • The World Risk Index (WRI) determines the risk of becoming a victim of a disaster as a result of vulnerability and natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, storms, floods, droughts and sea level rise for 172 countries worldwide.
  • 2024 totals are for the partial year of Jan. 01 to mid-March.
