An earthquake alarm device, including an alarm lamp and a base. Inside the alarm lamp, there is a power supply module and an earth magnetic field detection module. The earth magnetic field detection module emits a sound and light early warning signal when identifying any earth field abnormality. The vibration sensing module I senses slight vibration and emits a sensing signal I. The vibration sensing module II senses strong vibration and emits a sensing signal II. The control chip II emits sound and light alarm signals after receiving the sensing signal II or the sensing signal I and sound and light early warning signal at the same time. The alarm lamp gives a light alarm after receiving a sound and light early warning signal. The lighting module receives sound and light early warning signals or sound and light alarm signals and provides lighting.
