- Recent activity: Fontana and the Inland Empire have seen multiple small to moderate quakes in the past few years, with occasional updates from local agencies about aftershocks and felt reports. For example, past reports include a 3.4–3.5 magnitude event near Fontana in 2024 and a larger event in the Inland Empire region in 2025, both accompanied by aftershock notes and public safety advisories.
