Before an event
Review contact details, accept invitations, save useful resources and practice the plan together.
When you feel shaking
Take protective action and follow local guidance. Open TELURICO when it is appropriate to look for information or contact your people.
Afterward
Check the source and time of an event, share a voluntary update and contact people through the channels you agreed on. No reply can simply mean no connection.
Early-warning goal · not operational yet
An earthquake has started. A warning may travel ahead of the shaking.
Electronic messages can travel faster than seismic waves. A system that detects an earthquake quickly enough may give people farther away a few seconds to take protective action. It cannot predict an earthquake before it starts.
What TELURICO can do today
Today’s notifications report published earthquakes or request a voluntary check-in. They do not predict wave arrival. Native apps and phone-sensing research provide a starting point; the validated detection and early-warning delivery system still needs to be built and tested.
Understand the early-warning planTELURICO does not predict earthquakes or operate a public early-warning service. Information and messages may be delayed or missed. Follow local authorities; do not wait for the app to take protective action.
