eQuake Alert - Earth Quake Warning

eQuake Alert is a Firefox Extension to alerts you of earthquake right on your Firefox web browser. eQuake Alert provides you the basic information such as date, location, and magnitude of each earthquake.

eQuake Alert reads the rss feed provided by USGS (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/catalogs/eqs7day-M2.5.xml) on regular intervals, that can be customized by the user (by default 5 mins). It then parses the rss feeds and see if it is updated. If then, it will push those entries to the recent quake list and alert the you with the basic information.

Your browser will shake proportional to the earthquake magnitude. You can configure the alert methods and you can even limit the alerts by the earth quake magnitude. The recent quakes menu provides a link to the detailed information of quake at the USGS (US Geological Survey) website.

You can download the latest version of eQuake Alert from it’s homepage or from addons.mozilla.org.
