A unique earthquake detection system: a blend of collaborative work from eyewitnesses and of data collection from seismic institutes. You felt an earthquake and want to add or see testimonies on a specific seismic event? Do you want to know if there are any earthquakes near you, or see the worldwide earthquakes in the last 24 hours?

🔎 Regional instrumental seismicity in Northern California. The colored dots represent the #earthquakes that have struck the region [using https://isc.ac.uk/ catalog -1960 to 2020- and https://emsc-csem.org/ data -from 2021 onwards]:
🔎 Deadliest #earthquakes that occurred in recent years within 300km (186mi) of Santa Cruz (#California): 18/04/1906 a M8.3 led to 700 casualties, 18/10/1989 a M7.1 led to 63 casualties, and on 22/12/2003 a M6.6 led to 2 casualties.
❓ Can #earthquakes be predicted? No. Seismologists can estimate the probability of ground shaking due to #earthquakes in a time windows of decades. This is used by engineers to design safe buildings. Educational video by https://www.earthscope.org/ 👇
