In the last few weeks, several countries experienced many natural disasters, especially earthquakes. In Indonesia such as the cities of West Nusa Tenggara, Bali and Jogja, there are a number of locations where natural disasters occur due to this shift in the earth’s layers. Information uncertainty, lack of disaster response guidelines, and lack of anticipation of emergency conditions can cause the situation to become worse, even more victims can fall.
To anticipate it, you need to have an application that can provide accurate information about earthquake events in real time. In addition, existing applications can also provide advice and information related to earthquake handling.
The following applications that you can use to monitor and obtain information about earthquakes. The following are 5 Earthquake Monitor Applications.
