About

A little bit of information from the creator

Earthquake Report has been created by Armand Vervaeck (Belgium).
Earthquake Report has only 1 goal :  reporting about earthquakes and volcanoes  in the best possible way.
Earthquake Report bridges the gap in between science and basic understanding.
News in this site will not only appear very quickly, but we will always try to bring “Added Value” and “Scientific/Social Insight” news that you will not find anywhere else.

Those looking only for scientific facts can also use the USGS, EMSC and other governmental organizations links given in each story.

Earthquake Report focuses on the Impact of Earthquakes and Volcanoes on society. We will search for unique news, even in the most remote places on Earth. Victims of an Earthquake in the jungle of Papua New Guinea merit the same attention as those people living in San Francisco, Tokyo, Port-au-Prince or Concepción.

Earthquake Report support QuakeSOS, the earthquake emergency iPhone Application.

SOS Earthquakes

Earthquake-Report.com is the information part of SOS Earthquakes, a non-profit organization specializing in earthquakes with 5 important goals :
- bringing the best possible, highest quality earthquake information
- providing free or cheap technology tools for mass media (QuakeSOS iPhone application)
- providing Quick and Structural aid to earthquake victims, all over the world (still to be organized)
- giving rational unbiased geophysical, seismological, engineering and scientific earthquake details.
- working on earthquake preparedness and prevention.
SOS Earthquakes was founded in August 2010. A separate website for SOS Earthquakes will be online later.

SOS Earthquakes and Earthquake-Report.com are private initiatives to make the world just a little bit better.
We welcome every single donated dollar as a lifeline that strengthens our initiative.
We welcome also the support of STRATEGIC PARTNERS who will enable us to reach as many people as possible.
Strategic partners can be individuals or companies who want to make the world less traumatic, just like we do, or people or companies who require the latest damage, casualty, aid, economic and social data from earthquakes.

Many volunteers from all over the world.
These volunteers are gathering news, making background checks, are working on sub-topics, etc.

Earthquake-report.com is still looking for :

Seismologists / Geologists and Volcanologists (professors and students)
To cope with our worldwide success, Earthquake-Report.com is looking to extend the group of people directly in charge of the earthquake  and volcano reporting itself. What has to be written can easily be seen in the existing articles in the website.   Explaining earthquake and volcano activity mechanisms so that almost everybody can understand it is one of the main issues of this site.

Volunteers for different tasks and translators
If you are willing to participate as a volunteer in this project, please let us know.
We have an urgent need for translators for every main language in earthquake sensitive areas in the world.  The translators will make sure that also the non-English people of the earthquake hit area will be able to read our articles.
All you need is a computer with an Internet connection. We will tell you what needs to be done.
