The short version

Alaska is the most earthquake-active state in the country: the recorded baseline is roughly 800 earthquakes of M2.5 or larger a year (USGS catalog, last 30 days at the recorded rate). Almost all are small and unfelt. This site reads the USGS catalog and feeds and says, in plain words, what has already happened near the places Alaskans live — it reports earthquakes; it does not predict them, and it is not a warning service.
