The authoritative source for Alaska is the Alaska Earthquake Center. Local networks have denser stations than the global USGS feed and may report additional small events or slightly different magnitudes.

Can this page warn me before an earthquake?

No — and neither can any website. Earthquakes cannot be predicted. This page records events within minutes after they happen. Early-warning systems that give seconds of notice exist in some countries and operate through official apps and broadcasts.
