About this app

Knowing that your family members, relatives, friends are safe is extremely important in case of emergencies especially when there is poor communication

Earthquake Preparedness is a free mobile app that provides individuals and families to get organized in case of emergencies like earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, storms, hurricanes, manmade incidents etc. You can learn who is safe, who needs attention, track near real-time position of members on the map, help people to move to a safe gathering area, share information to limit risks and uncertainties.

Start adding your friends by sending connection invitation. After they accepted your invitation, you will see them in your connections list. When you have your connections ready, in case of emergencies, you just can create an emergency incident and all your connections will be asked to confirm that they are ok. You can track their status together with their position on the map. You can communicate with each other using messaging functionality, share photos, and your feelings. Gathering point can be created by long clicking on the map to help people to move to that location to meet in case of lack of communication.
