Análisis de la app LastQuake para 3 de febrero

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!] ╍ NEW VERSION ╍ We're excited to introduce you to this new version of LastQuake, designed to provide an improved user experience and more advanced features for tracking earthquakes in your area and around the world. What's new in this version: - A dynamic home page with an interactive map showing the distribution of earthquakes around the world. This feature provides a better understanding of seismic activity in your region and around the world. - A search function now allows you to quickly find earthquakes by specifying date, magnitude, and geographic region. You can then filter earthquakes based on your personal criteria. - You can now save earthquakes for quick and easy access to information. This feature allows you to keep track of important earthquakes and their progress. - You can now customize your notifications to receive alerts according to your preferences: voice alert, earthquakes near you, minimum magnitude, maximum distance, etc. - Following feedback from users who complained that the home page didn't provide enough information about earthquakes at a glance and that they preferred the earthquake list, we've added the ability to choose which page you land on directly when you open the application (the classic home page or the earthquake list). - Automatic translation of comments when you click on them. ╍ 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.
