Detection
Recognizing earthquake-like motion after physical motion begins. Smartphone detection is currently a research concept.
Awareness begins with honest boundaries.
Understand what earthquake information can tell you — and where you must rely on official emergency authorities.
AWARENESS WITH RESPONSIBILITY
Understand the boundariesClarity. Without false certainty.
Seismicly does not predict earthquakes. It is an informational and awareness product, not an official emergency warning system. Always follow local authorities and official emergency guidance.
Early warning
An earthquake has already started. A warning may reach more distant places before damaging waves. Seismicly does not provide a guaranteed early-warning service.
Forecasting & risk analysis
Statistical estimates based on past seismic activity. These do not identify the exact time, location and magnitude of a future event.
Prediction
Exact future earthquake time, location and magnitude. Seismicly does not claim this capability.
Magnitude alone does not establish personal risk. Distance, depth, local ground conditions, building quality and official observations matter. Data may be revised, incomplete or unavailable. Notifications depend on source availability, connectivity, settings and operating system limits.
