GEOFON Eqinfo - GEOFON Global Earthquake Monitoring System

All real time data streams from GEOFON stations as well as around 900 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 essential service provides basic rapid earthquake information immediately to earthquake and tsunami warning centers worldwide, government agencies, disaster management teams, news media and scientists. The rapid earthquake information is distributed via several channels like e-mails, SMS, RSS, web services and web pages within minutes of an event. On 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 over 200000 messages per year.
