Description
All real-time data streams from GEOFON stations as well as ~700 additional real-time stations from international partners are used to determine rapid automatic location estimates for all globally recorded earthquakes and most regional ones. This service provides basic rapid earthquake information to earthquake and tsunami warning centres worldwide, governmental agencies, disaster management teams, news media and scientists at the GFZ and elsewhere. The rapid earthquake information is distributed via several channels like e-mails, SMS, RSS, web services and web pages. In particular one of the most popular web pages is the Global Seismic Monitor showing the latest largest events in the world (Figure 3). In average ~6500 events and ~1500 Moment Tensor solutions are published per year on the web page and the largest are disseminated to the different stakeholders via 200.000+ messages per year.
