Description
Check your earthquake risk. Receive alerts when a nearby earthquake strikes. Take action to protect your home and family.
Temblor gives individuals the tools to understand their personal earthquake risk.
Temblor provides free individualized earthquake risk information to the public. It’s the same basic info that we license to the insurance industry — the difference being volume of locations and depth of the analysis. This distinguishes us from other risk model vendors (e.g., RMS, AIR, CoreLogic), which are closed to the public.
“Impressive Earthquake App. Way more here than the other 'earthquake apps.'” — J.D.
Check your risk
Under the “Your Risk” tab, enter your home address (or a city, state or geographic landmark) or find your location and instantly see the earthquake magnitude that location is likely to experience in your lifetime. Use the map layers to explore various hazards including shaking, liquefaction susceptibility, wildfire hazard and more (depending on location).
Check your risk everywhere on Earth.
Pan and zoom to view all recent earthquakes anywhere on the planet. Temblor merges earthquake catalogs from the major seismic agencies around the world into one real-time display of global earthquakes in the past 24 hours, 2 days, 7 days or 30 days.
View faults throughout the world or in your backyard.
Quake Alerts
Temblor will send you a notification when an earthquake strikes near your location. This is NOT an earthquake early warning and is not intended to inform you of impending shaking. Various agencies around the world distribute early earthquake warnings to earthquake-prone regions. We encourage you to seek out your local agency to receive such alerts.

Ratings and Reviews
There’s a lot of bugs, need update
On the layers checklist, faults/ca faults, liquefaction (sometimes works if changing terrain but not always). Other than that, it’s a great app to see latest earthquake map and hopefully in the near future you’ll be able to give out some sort of warning if it’s a big one and hopefully a good distance away so there’s some time to get ready
Does not have functionality as shown in preview
Version 4.1.0 and website - I cannot get anything other than different versions of risk maps. No way to access the individual building risk assessment screen as shown in the first iOS App Store preview screenshot.
Very suspicious as other reviewers have complained about this for years, yet not addressed!
Add this feature please
This is a nice app but what it really needs is the ability to utilize the iPhone accelerometer to detect earthquakes and automatically share that data to the cloud and/or the USGS.
Only when enough similar readings are detected from a certain region within a narrow timeframe would the data be considered legitimate and then be pushed back out to the map for all users to view.
The app could also be active only at certain times of the day/night that the user defines. As well as only be active when connected to pre-defined wifi networks. Such as Home or work.
Another option would be to only take accelerometer reading when it is plugged into power (such as when on your night stand or connected to a computer USB).
The app could also use the iPhone GPS to disable sensor reading when moving. As well as only record seismic data when the app detects the iPhone is laying flat on its back.
Another option would be to disable the seismic sensor data output when a face is detected with the front facing camera.
Requiring the app to be running in the foreground would also further prevent false readings.
This could easily, quickly, and cheaply create a huge network of seismographs around the world.
