How Our Real-Time Earthquake Alert System Works
Understanding how global seismological networks capture and verify seismic telemetry for rapid public notification.
Sensor Network Detection
Global seismometer arrays from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and EMSC record ground motion waveforms when a subterranean fault ruptures.
Automated Waveform Calculation
Geological servers calculate preliminary Moment Magnitude (Mw), hypocentral depth, and exact geographic coordinates, publishing verified event feeds.
Rapid Multi-Channel Dispatch
Earthquake Today ingests the data stream and instantly dispatches notifications to our browser extension, Telegram channel, and social communities.

How to Get Earthquake Alerts on Mobile & Desktop
Whether you need instant notifications on your iPhone, Android, or laptop, here is the complete guide on setting up reliable seismic alerts today.
1. Facebook Community (500K+ Followers)
Join over 500,000 community members on our official Facebook Page. Enable “Get Notifications” to receive updates directly in your social feed whenever significant tremors occur.
2. Desktop Browser Extension (Chrome & Firefox)
Install the free Earthquake Today Browser Extension from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. The extension runs discreetly in the background, pinging our seismic server and sending native OS banners when a significant earthquake occurs.
3. Earthquake Advisories vs Tsunami Warnings
Not all earthquakes produce tsunamis. A seismic alert indicates ground rupture. When a shallow undersea earthquake exceeds Magnitude 7.0 (such as along the Nazca Plate in Chile or the Hellenic Arc in Greece), oceanographic centers issue an official Tsunami Watch or Tsunami Warning.
4. What to Do Immediately When Shaking Starts
When an earthquake alert sounds or you feel the ground begin to shake, execute the certified life-safety protocol: DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON. Drop to your knees, cover your head under a sturdy desk or table, and hold on until motion ceases.

How quickly are Earthquake Today alerts dispatched?
Our platform provides rapid, verified earthquake alerts. When an earthquake occurs and is recorded by global seismic networks (USGS and EMSC), our system ingests the verified data and broadcasts it across our digital channels within minutes.
Is there an official Earthquake Today mobile app?
Yes, our native Earthquake Alert App for iOS and Android is currently in active development. You can enter your email in the Early Access box above to test upcoming iOS TestFlight or Google Play Beta builds.
What magnitude of earthquakes trigger an alert?
To prevent notification fatigue while prioritizing life safety:
- Global Social Feeds (X & FB): Typically Magnitude 4.5 and above worldwide.
- Regional Alerts: Densely populated regions trigger alerts for tremors of M3.5+.
- Near Me Radar: Captures local events down to Magnitude 2.0+ within your radius.
Are the browser extensions and channels free?
Yes, 100% free! We believe public safety telemetry should be universally accessible. There are no subscriptions, paywalls, or personal data collection requirements.
What is the difference between an earthquake alert and a tsunami warning?
An Earthquake Alert warns of mechanical ground shaking generated by tectonic fault rupture. A Tsunami Warning is issued when an undersea or coastal earthquake (usually M7.0+ with shallow focal depth) vertically displaces the seabed, producing ocean waves that threaten coastal areas.
