Receive earthquake alerts from the OVSICORI-UNA Early Warning System

Features & Capabilities

OVSICORI-UNA Alerta Terremotos is a free mobile Chrome extension that provides real-time earthquake notifications sourced from the National University of Costa Rica's Early Warning System. It offers pre-alerts to users located roughly between 50 to 150 km from earthquake epicenters, giving valuable seconds to crouch, protect, and wait.

The system delivers three types of alerts: Red (severe shaking with voice and vibration alerts), Orange (moderate shaking with sound and vibrations), and Green (mild shaking silently notified). Users can also report their personal earthquake experiences through the app, enhancing community awareness. With fully automated sensors and algorithms, this extension helps users prepare and respond swiftly to seismic events.

User Reviews

User reviews for OVSICORI-UNA Alerta Terremotos are mixed. While some appreciate the quick alerts and lack of excessive notifications, many report that the app fails to update with recent earthquakes or notify them reliably. Users find the volume settings problematic, either too low for early warnings or too loud for minor past event alerts. The app lacks accessible earthquake history data, and some consider it less effective than following official social media channels. Overall, the app holds potential but suffers from inconsistency and usability issues.

Pros

Provides earthquake alerts, sometimes in a timely manner
Does not generate excessive false alerts according to some users
Offers two types of notifications: imminent strong earthquake and mild past events alerts
Has potential as an early warning system in a small country
Alerts are relatively quick, sometimes within seconds after an event

Cons

App often fails to notify or update with recent earthquake information
Notification volume and frequency for mild earthquakes can be disruptive, especially at night
No access to historical earthquake data within the app upon installation
Some users report the app does not work at all despite permissions and settings
The early warning alert volume is too low compared to other notification sounds

He descargado la aplicación como 4 veces, borrado datos, reiniciado ¡y no funciona! ¡El último reporte de sismo fue hace 2 meses! Han habido varios sismos y no Reporta nada. ¡Que lástima!, tenía mucho potencial está aplicación.

Esta app no sirve. Tiene todos los permisos otorgados, usé los 4 puntos de interés y ni así... El día de hoy: 2024/04/23. A las 1:02am hubo movimiento y ni si quiera registró nada 🤦🏼‍♂️
