Android App for monitoring natural disasters

You can monitor natural disasters around the world, as published by the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System - www.gdacs.org with this Android App. The app shows the latest natural disasters like earthquakes, volcano eruptions, tropical cyclones, tsunamis and floods as color coded icons in a list as well as on a Google Maps backdrop; the icon colors indicate the alert level - green, orange, and red. The icon will look more transparent the older the event was published. 

The list view can be used to sort the natural disaster events according to the date time, region, and disaster type. 

Clicking on an item on the list will bring up more details about the disaster event.

To view more information about the event, clicking the Browser button will open up the source GDACS web page with more details, as shown below.

On the other hand, clicking the Map button will bring up a Google Map view of the event, as shown below.

Earthquake Monitor Web App

Since Google has announced that it will be closing down the iGoogle site, I decided to migrate some of the Google Gadgets that I had written to Chrome Web Apps for the Chrome Web Store. I consolidated the various earthquake gadgets using the USGS, British Geological Survey, Euro-Mediterranean Seismic Monitoring Center, and the New Zealand GeoNet earthquake feeds into a single Web App.

The screenshot below shows the Earthquake Monitor Web App. It can be installed through the Chrome Web Store (search for Earthquake Monitor) or directly from this url address http://dominoc925-pages.appspot.com/webapp/quakemon/default.html.

Simply choose an earthquake source feed in the side bar's Earthquake feed combo box as shown below.

The earthquake epicenters will be displayed as color coded icons by depth and time on Google Maps. Hovering the cursor on the icons will display a tool tip showing summary details about the earthquake event. Clicking on the icon will open up a page showing more detailed information.


Clicking on the List link in the side bar will display a list view of the earthquake events. The list can be sorted according to the time, depth or magnitude of the earthquake event. Clicking on the Map link will center and zoom to the earthquake epicenter in Google Maps.
