Earth Alerts is a practical natural disaster forecasting and warning system that can monitor and let users know all kinds of natural disaster events happening around the world in real time. It not only highlights the location of happening natural disasters on earth today with visual images, but also attaches detailed descriptive data. Better yet, all the data is updated online in real time.
To use Earth Alerts, you can simply select specific types of natural disasters - earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, tropical cyclones, wildfires, landslides, severe weather, local weather etc., as well as the areas you are interested in. It will then automatically retrieve the latest information from various real-time data sources available on the Internet, and present it to you in a convenient way with reports, maps and images.
Earth Alerts uses various online resources issued by National Weather Service (NWS), United States Geological Survey (USGS), Smithsonian Institution and other institutions to determine what kind of activities our Mother Earth is currently operating on this planet. It is worth noting that Earth Alerts can be integrated with Google Earth, so that users can view the cataclysms that have happened using satellite photos, of course high resolution. If you follow such natural phenomena, you can put an audible alert, it will work if the threat is fixed somewhere.
Unfortunately, although this software is named after "Earth Alerts", it is actually much more specific to the U.S. regions (i.e.: support for other countries is less than perfect), with all information coming from the local, related institutions or organisations. In other words, the various data contents displayed in this software need to be connected to servers in the United States, so the connection speed from other countries and completeness, effectiveness of information may not be ideal enough.
