Free app for earthquake alerts

LastQuake is a free mobile application that provides valuable information and alerts about earthquakes. It is the official mobile app of the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) and uses a combination of official seismic data and testimonials from eyewitnesses to provide insights into earthquake damage.

As a dedicated mobile app for earthquake response and alerts, it can be categorized alongside various tools, such as Earthquake - American Red Cross and Emergency - American Red Cross. However, LastQuake is more global and geared towards earthquake response and the aftermath rather than preparation.

Real-time earthquake information

The LastQuake app provides real-time insights into earthquakes. This includes everything from a global earthquake map, which plots the locations of earthquakes, to testimonials from eyewitnesses, and even user-generated content, like photographs, which can help to showcase the effects of the earthquake, such as damage to buildings.

Geographic data is retrieved from users' mobile devices, ensuring the location of reported seismic activity is accurate. The earthquake map includes aerial, street view, and EMSC map options, and the app can be integrated with social media platforms. As a result, LastQuake can provide excellent information to many users around the world.

Crowdsourced earthquake experiences

LastQuake makes use of data from more than 150 respected seismological institutions, but much of the information on the app is crowdsourced from users who are on the ground in affected regions. So, how does LastQuake compare with Emergency - American Red Cross?

The American Red Cross app provides a greater emphasis on preparation and training information, and it covers multiple emergencies. LastQuake is more focused on crowdsourced insights from eyewitnesses so that people can understand the on-the-ground situation. LastQuake is also more useful for tracking global earthquakes, although the user base is mostly European.

A valuable earthquake tool

LastQuake draws on the experiences of real people to provide timely information about the aftereffects of earthquakes. This makes it a valuable safety tool for users around the world.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
