INSIVUMEH: Earthquake Alerts

INSIVUMEH Alerta de Terremotos is a Guatemalan mobile app providing earthquake notifications. It uses data from the INSIVUMEH National Data Center to assess potential impact at the user's location, offering early warnings to allow users time to take protective action. The app is effective within 50-150 km of the epicenter; closer distances don't allow enough warning time, and farther distances may not pose significant danger. This free service complements INSIVUMEH's information dissemination efforts. The system is automated, linking instruments and algorithms, making it susceptible to technical issues. It delivers three alert levels: Red (take cover), Orange (be aware), and Green (low intensity). Users can report their experiences after each event. Get real-time earthquake alerts and stay safe with this crucial early warning system. The app helps you prepare for earthquakes and understand seismic activity.
