SAMUDRA vs NewQuake

“SAMUDRA” (Smart Access to Marine Users for Data Resources, and ocean Advisories) is envisaged to give an easy access for users to the ocean information and advisory services provided by The Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) (under the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government Of India). The app empowers users with real-time updates and critical alerts on oceanic disasters such as tsunamis, high waves, swell surge alerts, and ocean current alerts etc. ensuring that individuals and communities stay informed to take necessary precautions. The app also offers invaluable services to the fishing community, providing PFZ advisories that guide fishermen to the most probable fish aggregation locations thereby maximising catch rates, and improving livelihoods. Furthermore, the mobile app provides a five-day advanced OSF, predicted tides along the coast etc. enabling mariners, fishermen, and coastal communities to plan their activities in advance, mitigating risks and optimising operations based on predicted ocean conditions. The app has interactive maps, charts, and animations that enhance comprehension of complex oceanic phenomena. The application is now available in English, Hindi and Indian coastal languages (Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Odia, and Bengali).

NewQuake shows you what an earthquake actually did, not just its magnitude. Every significant quake comes with a map you can read. Replay the P and S seismic waves spreading from the epicenter, see ShakeMap shading where the ground shook hardest, watch the aftershock sequence fan out from the mainshock, and find the active faults nearby, including which plate is diving beneath which at a subduction zone. For the largest events, watch the finite-fault rupture unfold across the fault plane. What you get • Live for great quakes and tsunamis: while the waves are still travelling, the map draws them where they are right now • Recent feed with color-coded magnitudes, felt reports, JMA shindo for Japan, and aftershock sequence pills • Map tab with a satellite globe, plate boundaries, active faults, and every recent event in one view • Event pages with depth in context, energy released, fault type, and the official agency bulletin • A 3D view of every quake underground, with the faults, the sinking plate and the rupture, to rotate and replay • Historical Quakes: the great and giant earthquakes of the past, plotted and replayable • Guided map tours of last week's notable quakes, and of the historic ones • Tsunami bulletins from NOAA, with the wavefront routed over the ocean floor and replayed • Ongoing volcanic eruptions from GDACS and the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program • Notifications with your own magnitude and severity thresholds, per saved location • Optional Time-Sensitive alerts for dangerous nearby events • Home Screen widget with the latest event • A glossary that explains every term the app uses • No accounts, no advertising, no tracking Data sources U.S. Geological Survey, European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, Japan Meteorological Agency, GeoNet (GNS Science, New Zealand), NOAA / National Weather Service, GDACS, and the Smithsonian Institution's Global Volcanism Program. NewQuake is informational and may be delayed or incomplete. Follow official local emergency guidance for safety decisions.
