An earthquake of magnitude 4.6 occurred early morning on Wednesday, June 18th, 2025, at 2:10 am local time near Wamena, Jayawijaya Regency, Highland Papua, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Wamena (pop. 41,800) located 62 km from the epicenter.

SANTA FE, NM — Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire claimants whose structures were left with increased risks of wildfires, flooding or other cascading impacts may be reimbursed for costs to reduce these risks to pre-fire levels, but they must finish the work by the deadline of November 14, 2025. 

DEADLINE DETAILS: Claimants must have a valid NOL requesting risk reduction, must complete the risk reduction project, and incur all costs by November. 14, 2025.  Claimants must own the property, identify the heightened risks to structures and outline the project’s costs, scope, date of completion and how the project reduces the risks to pre-fire levels. 

Risk-reduction costs may be reimbursed under the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act.  Risk reduction differs from repairing or rebuilding a damaged property, which is done to restore structures to their pre-fire condition, capacity and function. 

A site visit may be required to verify a completed project. Total reimbursement for projects will be capped at 50% of the replacement cost value of the structure being protected. Any costs that exceed this cap are the claimant’s responsibility. Eligible risk reduction projects for public facilities must first be submitted to FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) program and denied for all or partial assistance before they can be submitted to the Claims Office.

Properties in areas damaged by wildfire are often more vulnerable to natural hazards or cascading impacts
