Earthwise – Earthquake, Tsunami, Volcano & Flood Tracker See what the Earth is doing in real time. Earthwise is a powerful global monitoring app that gives you a clear, data-driven view of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic activity and floods worldwide, all in one structured and easy-to-use platform. Earthwise brings together live global activity into a single, intuitive experience, allowing you to quickly understand what is happening across the planet without noise or unnecessary complexity. From seismic events and ocean activity to volcanic systems and river behaviour, everything is organised to give you instant clarity. Explore detailed, location-based insights for your current position or any place worldwide. View nearby earthquakes with magnitude and depth data, monitor volcanic activity and historical patterns, track tsunami indicators across coastal regions, and understand flood conditions through river discharge and trend modelling. The app transforms complex environmental data into clear, readable information designed for everyday understanding. Interactive maps allow you to visualise global events in real time, with filtering options to adjust density, magnitude and focus areas. Tap into individual events for deeper breakdowns and see how activity is distributed across regions, helping you identify patterns rather than just isolated data points. Flood monitoring is fully integrated, giving you access to river-level insights, discharge trends and long-range modelling where available. Earthwise helps you understand how water systems are behaving over time, not just when flooding occurs, providing a broader view of environmental conditions. The smart briefing system delivers a clean, structured overview of global activity, combined with regional insights and customisable data views. You can tailor the experience to focus on what matters most, whether that is earthquakes, floods, volcanoes or tsunamis, creating a personalised global monitoring dashboard. Earthwise is designed to inform, not alarm. It presents structured environmental data without speculation, prediction or instruction, allowing you to stay aware of global events in a calm and controlled way. Earthwise provides informational data only and does not provide safety advice, warnings or emergency instructions. Always refer to official local authorities for guidance and decision-making.

QuakeSense helps you explore recently reported earthquakes on an interactive map and monitor the places that matter to you using USGS data. SEE RECENT EARTHQUAKES • View USGS-reported earthquakes on a worldwide map • Switch between nearby and worldwide activity • Filter by magnitude and by the past hour, 24 hours, or 7 days • Use color- and size-coded map markers to scan activity quickly UNDERSTAND EACH EVENT • Check magnitude, location, time, depth, and distance from your location • Inspect the epicenter on the map • Open the official USGS event page or Maps • Share an earthquake report with others MONITOR SAVED PLACES • Add places such as home, work, or travel destinations • Choose a minimum magnitude and distance radius for each place • Check recent matches against the latest 24-hour USGS feed • Receive local notifications for newly matched events when QuakeSense refreshes earthquake data and notification permission is enabled PRIVACY AND DATA Location access is optional and used to calculate distance and evaluate proximity rules. Saved place rules are stored on your device. No account is required, and the app does not include ads. DATA SOURCE AND SAFETY Earthquake information is provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Report availability and place names depend on the public USGS feed. QuakeSense monitors reported earthquakes. It does not predict earthquakes and is not an emergency alert service. Always follow official local authorities for safety guidance.
