∘ 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.

Bafflingly bad UI/UX. Excellent information provided.
The user interface and experience in this app is astonishingly bad. Lists are filtered using pop-out menus with radio buttons. Notification settings are opaque and confusing. UI elements overlap others. It’s a mess. It clearly was developed by people who don’t have a budget for real iOS developers. But I’m keeping the app for three reasons. 1.) I don’t have to sacrifice my privacy to American techbro kleptocrats and instead can support a group of scientists who prioritize information over profit. 2.) The app has no unnecessary features. There’s no gated functionality behind a paywall. 3.) The earthquake info and alerts seem to be timely and relevant/helpful. Support science over big tech.

Unusable after the new UI update
Absolutely horrible new UI, makes it completely unusable. Can’t get relevant data or updated lists of earthquakes near me. Cant click on the map to view the earthquake. Can’t even keep track of the earthquake that just happened where I am. Used to be an amazing app but it was fully ruined with the update.
