Hello
Is any foss or privacy respect app, that can early detect the earthquakes or tsunamis?
Today we had two big earthquakes and some users got notification like several seconds before the earthquake if not 1 minute earlier. I suppose it’s from google android notification system
Do we have anything similar?
There is something called emergency Cell Broadcast which works without any internet/Google, works also local city based (network cell tower).
Should work fine if you live in a civil country where it’s being taken use off.
At least here are regular test emergency alerts to verify it works on the alerters and users end. There were also some actual emergency cases too were it helped already.
CME’s at it again!
are those warnings sent by the government? if yes then it doesn’t exist in my country. they use traditional sms to inform us but i really dont expect them to warn us for anything. during summer we had a big fire and two people died and they kept saying everything is under control and at the same time the fire was expanding.
whats that?
should be
eg. we get storms warnings, fire warnings, lost kids, etc
In my country, they never send such emergency notifications. I never got a system notification from cell tower. I’ve seen images from other people that live in other countries such US, but we don’t have anything similar. They are also very late to inform us for important matters, through new websites.
well, yes, work with them, pressure them, vote them out, etc 
It’s one of those countries that don’t care much sadly. not sure what to do. maybe thru politicians but i am not related to them
There is strong evidence lately pointing to some of seismic earth activity we experience here on Earth due to celestial body phenomenon, i.e. CME’s (Coronal Mass Ejections).
no foss alternative? start a revolution in your country!
well… surely that’s not the only issue 
As someone living in an active earthquake zone without a SIM card, I find it outrageous that ShakeAlert, an service and app developed with public funds, is locked behind Google/Apple app stores and refuses to publish open-source code. This is unacceptable.
Decompiling the Android app to reverse-engineer it is a legally risky workaround. I received zero response to my request for information about becoming a developer. Meanwhile, the default alternative they push—MyShake—requires a Google/Apple account, which is another barrier for privacy-conscious users.
99% of the app functionality could run locally on the device, requiring only a minimal connection to the ShakeAlert service for real-time alerts. Users could even implement a polling system to check for updates every n minutes.
What I have found is Raspberry Shake, but their definition of “Free Software” is literally only about zero cost to the user. And the device automatically joins the “ShakeNet” service to crowdsource the results. I understand why this is the case, and they provide “free” services in exchange for running the RPi, but if one has to agree to their terms of service, and can’t reshare the data (as far as I can tell).
At least for those in the USA, the core issue appears to be the USGS uses proprietary software to provide the service. The lock down on the software then flows virally through the entire software stack like a cancer. I’m with the FSFE on the idea that if it’s public money funding the service, the code should be public as well.
Edit: forgot to mention the AnyShake Project, which is only just starting. Clearly others feel the same way as I.
Yes but one of historical significance just went undetected until after the fact
