LastQuake is a free, mobile application dedicated to alerting populations and gathering testimonies in real-time when an earthquake occurs. Designed by seismologists, LastQuake is the official app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC). Thanks to the participative action of its users, only a few minutes are needed for the EMSC to estimate earthquake effects and notify the population.

** AN INNOVATIVE EARTHQUAKE DETECTION METHOD **
EMSC detects earthquakes using:
∘ Earthquake witnesses, who are the first to feel an earthquake, hence the first informed that an event is happening.
∘ Internet and mobile technologies, which allow rapid information collection of the effects observed by witnesses, who are asked to fill in a questionnaire and share photos and videos.

Top mais visualisation cartographique immédiate

Il serait bien d’avoir une visualisation immédiate cartographique sur la page d’accueil tant de l’application que de l’événement sans devoir faire plusieurs clic successifs.
