On the occasion of him current earthquake which took place in Athens focusing on Cheeks, we will recommend you 2 very useful free applications to watch evolution of earthquakes made in our country, but also worldwide.
ΝLet us clarify that these applications in no case they will not warn you of an impending earthquake, but will help you to be informed immediately about the size and focus of the phenomenon 3-4 minutes after it occurs.
A quick download of an earthquake will help you assess the situation, but provide feedback to the European Seismological Center if you wish, helping seismologists record statistics.
In fact, both applications will inform you with notifications for the recording of a new earthquake.
