SISMOCOM, Report about earthquakes effects with an iPhone

The French seismological central office (BCSF), attached to the University of Strasbourg and certified system of observation of the national Institute of Sciences of the universe (INSU-CNRS) has just created SismoCom, the first application available on iPhone and iPod Touch dedicated to the report about the effects of earthquakes.

Description

SismoCom allows sending a report about the level of the shaking (Intensity) felt during an earthquake. This report is sent to the BCSF (Bureau Central Sismologique Françs) for a scientific use. SismoCom allows seeing the intensities deduced from all reports, obtaining the list of the last earthquakes, in the world, localized by the EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre), accessing to the current tsunami warning and being informed about the seismic risk mitigation.
