** 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.
