It operates as the official app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) and utilizes a combination of official seismic data and eyewitness accounts to deliver insights into earthquake occurrences and their impacts. Users can access a global earthquake map, eyewitness testimonials, and user-generated content, including photographs that illustrate the effects of seismic events, such as structural damage.

The application emphasizes earthquake response rather than preparedness, distinguishing it from other apps like Earthquake - American Red Cross. LastQuake is primarily designed for tracking global seismic activity, providing accurate geographic data sourced from users' mobile devices. The app offers various map options, including aerial and street view, and features integration with social media platforms to enhance information sharing among users.

** WHAT IS THE EMSC? **

EMSC is an international non-profit scientific NGO founded in 1975. Based in France, EMSC federates data from the seismological observatories of 86 institutes from 57 countries.

** AN INNOVATIVE EARTHQUAKE DETECTION METHOD **

The peculiarity of EMSC lies in its method of earthquake detection, which is based on:

> Earthquake witnesses, who are the first to feel an earthquake, and therefore the first informed that an event is happening.

> Internet and mobile technologies, which allow rapid information collection of the effects observed by witnesses, who are asked to fill in a questionnaire and share photos and videos.

** COMMITMENT TO POPULATIONS AFFECTED BY EARTHQUAKES **

Because information and communication are cornerstones in preventing risky behaviors, EMSC contributes to the reduction of seismic risk by providing to the general public:

> real-time information

> Post-earthquake safety tips

> SMS service that allows victims to notify their loved ones.

** PRINCIPAL FEATURES **
