Why evacuate?

In regions prone to earthquakes, timely information is crucial for safety. evacuate is designed to provide users with immediate notifications about seismic activity directly on the Bluesky platform. By leveraging real-time data and delivering concise, actionable alerts, evacuate helps users make informed decisions during critical moments.

Who Can Benefit?

  • Residents in Earthquake-Prone Areas: Stay informed about seismic events in your area and receive updates that could give you valuable seconds to prepare or evacuate.
  • Emergency Responders: Gain real-time insights into earthquake events as they happen, enabling quicker and more coordinated responses.
  • Travelers and Expats: If you're new to a seismically active region, evacuate ensures you're aware of potential dangers even if you're unfamiliar with local alert systems.

How It Enhances Safety

evacuate integrates with real-time earthquake monitoring services, filtering and processing data to identify significant seismic events. When an event is detected, the bot generates and posts a clear and concise notification on Bluesky, which includes:

  • Time of the Earthquake: The exact time the event occurred.
  • Magnitude: The scale of the earthquake, helping users understand its potential impact.
  • Location: The epicenter of the earthquake, allowing users to assess their proximity to the event.
  • Safety Instructions: In case of significant earthquakes, evacuate can include brief safety tips or advice on what actions to take.

These notifications are designed to be immediate, actionable, and accessible, ensuring that users have the information they need right when they need it.

Reliability and Accuracy

evacuate relies on established, reputable seismic data sources, ensuring that the information it provides is both accurate and up-to-date. The bot is configured to minimize false alarms, focusing on delivering alerts only when they matter most.

Privacy and Security
