QuickQuake provides real-time, customizable earthquake notifications across the world, enabling enhanced awareness and threat management. Set independent magnitude thresholds for worldwide, near-me, and emergency alerts. Emergency alerts for major nearby earthquakes can override Do Not Disturb and Focus, ensuring critical warnings reach you when it matters most. Every near-me alert includes estimated P-wave and S-wave arrival times, giving you a window to react before shaking arrives. A live map shows recent earthquakes and estimated shaking intensity at your location, with full detail on depth, distance, and time since occurrence. Alerts are corroborated across multiple official sources with references to each source used. Alerts are preliminary and should not be solely relied upon. Always get the most reliable information from official government sources and channels.
