About Chile Earthquakes

Welcome to Southern Pacific Review’s Earthquake Chile app for Android. To use this app, click on any earthquake to see its location on a map and the distance to nearby cities. Then post this data to Twitter or Facebook or send it out via email.

This app shows earthquakes for the past few hours. There is one tab for the University of Chile Earthquake center and one for the US Geological Survey (USGS), as each have their own monitoring stations.

We do not read data directly from the Centro Sismológico Nacional Universidad de Chile website directly, because that site usually crashes when there is much traffic. Instead we read the data from European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) . UChile sends the data directly there and that site always works, even when there is heavy traffic.

We also read data directly from the US Geological Survey (USGS). They only report strong earthquakes (> 4.0) for Chile and not all earthquakes. So you will often see no data there. Sometimes they report earthquakes that UChile does not. When they both report earthquakes the magnitude is usually different, so you can make a comparison.

Because we read the data from (EMSC) and not uChile you will see that our calculation of the nearest cities will sometimes be different from what is shown at http://www.sismologia.cl/

This is not an official app. We encourage you to check with ONEMI is the event of any emergency.

While you are on this page we invite you to read our magazine Southern Pacific Review featuring http://southernpacificreview.com/ “Latin America’s Best Writing.” We publish in-depth reporting on news and culture in Chile, air pollution in Chile, short stories, poems, and film reviews, mostly in English.

Finally, take a look at my new book on Chile: "The Avocado Republic of Chile, because it's too cold to grow Bananas." It is very funny and required reading for any foreigner who wants to come here. http://goo.gl/elbsJP

Simple y funciona bien, y provee de información de EEUU y de Chile para poder comparar. Funciona bien en Galaxy S3 y Motorola Moto X. Sugerí unas mejoras y el desarrollador las implementó rápidamente. La recomiendo.
