Real-time earthquake information
LastQuake is an earthquake detector for smartphones with multiple functions. On the one hand, after downloading the APK file, we will see a list of the latest earthquakes and other natural disasters. We will be able to visualize them according to their importance and their proximity to our location. The information includes time, exact location, depth, intensity, maps and user comments.
On the other hand, if we think we are feeling an earthquake, we can send a warning to the app. We just have to touch the button at the bottom of the interface, select one of the images that identifies our situation and write a comment, in which we can include photos, images and videos.
Designed by seismologists, it is the official app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).
On the other hand, it also offers information and data in real time. Thanks to the participation of users, the system only needs a few seconds to assess the effects of an earthquake and alert the population at risk.
