10 applications that will be very useful in an earthquake

Located on active fault lines in an earthquake zone, Turkey is reminded of the reality of earthquakes with every tremor. In these days when we need to become even more conscious about earthquakes, technology, as in many other areas, stands by smartphone users. This is because some mobile applications allow people to track earthquakes, blow a distress whistle, or call for help.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE USEFUL IN EMERGENCIES

Although there are different applications for Android and iOS devices, some of the applications that can save lives can be listed as follows:

Düdüğüm (My Whistle): While under rubble or in an emergency, it emits a whistle sound to help determine your location and sends an SMS to pre-determined numbers to notify them whether you are safe.
112-Acil Yardım Butonu (112 Emergency Help Button): Allows you to report emergencies.
Güvendeyim (I Am Safe): Developed by AKUT, this application allows you to notify your loved ones that you are safe during earthquakes, floods, or other emergencies.
Güvendesin (You Are Safe): Just like the Güvendeyim application, you can notify your loved ones that you are okay or in danger during natural disasters or emergencies.
Bridgefy
AFAD Acil Çağrı (AFAD Emergency Call): Developed by AFAD, this application allows you to initiate an emergency call via voice or message over a data line during events such as natural disasters or emergencies.

Deprem Uyarılarım (My Earthquake Alerts): While providing live earthquake information from all over the world, it also offers customized alerts.

LastQuake: A user-reported earthquake notification application, LastQuake is one of the official applications of the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. Thanks to people who feel the earthquakes first entering the information into the application, you can see in real-time where earthquakes are felt or occur.
