for most countries of the world it is the only earthquake early
warning system able to alert you before the seismic waves. More
details about the research project at https://www.sismo.app
Main features:
– Earthquake early warnings
– User’s reports on felt earthquakes
– Earthquake data from national and international seismic networks
starting from magnitude 0.0
– Earthquake notifications through voice synthesizer
The Earthquake Network research project develops a
smartphone-based earthquake early warning system able to
detect earthquakes in real time and to alert the population in
advance. Smartphones are able to detect earthquakes thanks to the
accelerometer on-board each device. When an earthquake is detected
users with the application installed are immediatly alerted. Since
earthquake waves travel at a finite speed (from 5 to 10 km/s) it is
possible to alert the population not yet reached by the damaging
waves of the earthquake. For the scientific details about the
project please refer to the Frontiers scientific journal at

Note that the information on earthquakes detected by national and
international seismic networks is usually published with a delay
ranging from a few minutes to many hours depending on the seismic
network.
