Earthquakes in the Dominican Republic — April 2026

17 earthquakes were recorded in the Dominican Republic during April 2026, an average of 0.6 per day.

The month's largest event in the Dominican Republic was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake near La Romana, Dominican Republic on 22 April 2026 at 23:47 UTC. A magnitude 4.1 earthquake radiates roughly 19 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is below the the Dominican Republic monthly average of 26 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 21 recorded the previous month.

47% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 53% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.

By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 2 range, 15 in the magnitude 3 range, 1 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 21 April, when 4 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.1 near La Romana, Dominican Republic on 22 April at 157 km; M3.9 near Boca de Yuma, Dominican Republic on 06 April at 40 km; M3.9 near La Romana, Dominican Republic on 20 April at 122 km.

That is 36% below the 26 events the Dominican Republic averages per month across the 21 months on record.
