Frequently asked questions

Is this an early-warning system?

No. It reports earthquakes that have been detected and published, in real time - it does not predict them or warn seconds before shaking. Early warning versus detection explains the difference.

Can I be notified only about significant events?

Yes - magnitude and depth filters apply to the list and to smart push alerts, including a Near You view.

Does it work on Apple TV?

Yes. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Vision Pro, and the live map is designed to be readable on a big screen.

What does magnitude actually mean?

It is a logarithmic measure of released energy - see what the Richter scale is.
