For earthquakes -
GDACS automatically monitors
earthquakes. For each earthquake,
humanitarian impact is calculated
based on magnitude, depth, affected
population and their vulnerability and
resilience. Detailed reports with
affected infrastructure are available.
Each 15 minutes, GDACS collects - in
an automatic way - media reports,
damage maps, ReliefWeb situation
reports and more about the
earthquakes.
GDACS Earthquakes page gives information on all the earthquakes in the form of markers on Google Maps and also as a table. Search feature is also provided to filter earthquakes according to country, alert level, affected population etc.
