Bali is one of the world's most visited islands — and one of the most seismically active. TravelAlert pulls live data from the U.S. Geological Survey, Indonesia's BMKG, the World Health Organization and GDACS so you know about earthquakes, volcanic activity around Mount Agung and Mount Batur, tsunami advisories, monsoon flooding and health risks the moment they happen.
Within 300 km · no active live alerts in this radius — showing recent reference events
Bali and the surrounding Lesser Sunda islands record dozens of significant seismic, volcanic and weather events every year. Below is a snapshot of recent activity based on USGS, BMKG and GDACS records.
~80
M4.5+ earthquakes within 300 km (last 12 months)
3
Active monitored volcanoes (Bali + Lombok)
4
Tsunami advisories in the last 10 years
2017 – 2019
Last Mount Agung eruption phase

Average annual rainfall (wet season peak)
April to October is the dry season and the safest window for outdoor activities, with the lowest flood and landslide risk.
| Risk | Period | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Monsoon / wet season | November – March | Heavy rainfall, flash floods, landslides and elevated dengue risk. |
| Peak volcanic monitoring | Year-round (Mount Agung & Batur) | Status changes are issued by Indonesia's PVMBG; airport closures possible within hours. |
| Earthquake activity | Year-round | M5+ events are common; tsunami advisories follow shallow offshore quakes. |
Hazard-specific orientation gathered from public guidance by USGS, NOAA, WHO and similar agencies. This is general information, not professional safety advice — always follow instructions from local authorities and official emergency channels for your location.
Drop, cover and hold on. In hotels, get under a sturdy table or stand in an interior doorway away from windows. After shaking stops, move to open ground — most quake injuries in Bali come from falling tiles and unreinforced masonry. If you are on the coast and shaking lasts longer than 20 seconds, move inland or to high ground immediately, even before any official tsunami advisory.
Check the official PVMBG alert level (1 Normal → 4 Awas). At level 3+ exclusion zones expand and Ngurah Rai International Airport may close on short notice. Have an N95 mask and goggles for ashfall, keep your passport on you, and rebook flights through your airline directly — third-party platforms are slow to respond.
Natural warnings come faster than official ones: strong or long shaking, a sudden retreat of the sea, or a loud roar from the ocean. Do not wait for sirens — move to ground at least 30 m above sea level or 3 km inland. Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua are all low-lying.
Flash floods hit Ubud, Sidemen, Tabanan and the central highlands hardest between November and March. Avoid river valleys after heavy rain, don't drive through standing water on rural roads, and check road conditions before scooter trips to waterfalls.
Dengue cases spike during and after the rainy season. Use DEET-based repellent at dawn and dusk, sleep under a fan or air-conditioning, and seek care if you develop a high fever lasting more than 48 hours. BIMC Hospital (Kuta and Nusa Dua) and Siloam Hospitals Denpasar handle most tourist cases.

Open the live Bali alerts above to see active warnings within 300 km. As a baseline, Bali is generally safe for tourism, but conditions can change within hours when there is volcanic activity at Mount Agung, a strong earthquake, or a tsunami advisory. TravelAlert pushes a notification to your phone when any official source raises an alert near your location.
We aggregate data from BMKG (Indonesia's meteorological and geophysical agency), USGS, GDACS (the EU/UN disaster coordination system), the WHO, and government travel advisories such as the German Auswärtiges Amt. We do not generate alerts ourselves — we surface official ones faster.
Yes, if you create a free account, allow push notifications and add Bali as a saved place or upcoming trip. We dispatch an alert within minutes of an official status change from PVMBG (via BMKG and GDACS).
Every magnitude 4.5+ earthquake near Bali appears on the live map within minutes of detection by USGS or BMKG. If a tsunami advisory is issued, it is shown at the highest severity level (red).
Yes — outbreak alerts come from the WHO and national health authorities. They are tagged as health alerts and shown alongside weather and seismic warnings.
April to October is the dry season and the safest window overall: lowest flood and landslide risk, calmer seas and fewer dengue cases. November to March is still travelable, but expect heavy rain, occasional flash floods and elevated mosquito-borne illness risk.
If shaking lasts longer than about 20 seconds, treat it as a tsunami risk and move to ground at least 30 m above sea level or 3 km inland — do not wait for a siren or official warning. Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak and Nusa Dua are all low-lying coastal areas where evacuation time matters.
Possibly. Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) has closed multiple times due to ash from Mount Agung and Mount Raung. Check with your airline directly — third-party booking platforms are slow to update. TravelAlert notifies you of PVMBG status changes so you can act before airline notifications.
Bali has no general curfew. Exclusion zones exist around active volcanoes (typically a 4–6 km radius around Mount Agung at elevated alert levels), and certain ceremonies — most notably Nyepi (Day of Silence, usually March) — require all tourists, including those in hotels, to stay indoors for 24 hours.
