A shallow magnitude 4.5 earthquake was reported early morning near San Antonio, Zambales, Central Luzon, Philippines.
According to the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, the quake hit on Friday, December 19th, 2025, at 2:07 am local time 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 San Nicolas (pop. 2,800) located 43 km from the epicenter, San Narciso (pop. 32,200) 43 km away, San Narciso (pop. 15,600) 43 km away, San Antonio (pop. 38,600) 44 km away, Iba (pop. 26,900) 50 km away, and Subic (pop. 67,700) 60 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Olongapo (pop. 221,200) located 67 km from the epicenter, Masinloc (pop. 56,600) 68 km away, and San Fernando

CHICAGO – Preliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) are available for review by residents and business owners in Branch County. Property owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. Community stakeholders can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and participate in the 90-day appeal and comment period.

The 90-day appeal period will begin on December 19, 2025. The preliminary maps and changes from current maps may be viewed online at the FEMA Flood Map Changes Viewer: http://msc.fema.gov/fmcv. 

The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state, and FEMA officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place, but before the maps become final, community stakeholders can identify any concerns or questions about the information provided and submit appeals or comments. Contact your local floodplain administrator to do so. 

Appeals must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim.Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress.If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information, such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary, they can submit a written comment. 

The next step in the mapping process
