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.
