Description
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.
[LastQuake is an ad-free app!]
** 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.

Ratings and Reviews
Big help during earthquake times in zagreb
Thank you so much for this great app, being a ngo project if i understood it right! The app is very helpful when my croatian fellow citizens storm to the website after an earthquake and make it unavailable😅- at least you have the app - although i like the website a little bit more! Fred, sorry for the problems we’re causing! Corona & earthquakes at the same time are just too much in these crazy times and storming to your app (or website) feels just good and makes it a little bit easier 😀. We should organize a visit to croatia for you as you‘re already a little celebrity here 😀.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your very nice comment. I will tell Fred he should visit Croatia!! Stay safe
PS : We still hope to visit Croatia soon
Great app
I’m using this app since a few years ago when island Krk and Kvarner area was trembling and I must express my gratitude to you people who made it. It’s helping a lot, especially now when Sisak, Petrinja, Glina and surroundings are trembling without a break to breath in. my friend who live there are in such a terror and I, getting accurate info from this app, am grateful you exist! Will donate as soon as I get my pay check in a week. Great job, stay safe and help us being at least informed if none can protect us from this disaster. 👍
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your appreciation. We do consider registration but it would require significant changes on the backend. I hope you have noticed that we are deleting more and more inappropriate comments. Please do not hesitate to inform us because there are too many (1 000 for the latest M1.7) for us to check all of them. In such a case send us an email at contact@emsc-csem.org and we'll act. Thanks for your understanding and stay safe
Improve servers connections
Application is great, the number of users using it prove that, but servers can’t handle huge number of connections in short period of time. That usually happens with stronger earthquakes, when multiple users report at the same time. We receive notifications M+country and going blind for next hour or so, unable to check exact location.
Maybe you can improve notifications including more details to compensate.

Thank you for your appreciation and understanding. Stay safe
