Our Tsunami Alarm System evaluates collected earthquake data from several reliable sources. Based on this information, the Tsunami Alarm System creates an automatic hazard forecast. Our 24/7 team of experienced travel security analysts takes care of the further hazard analysis and the all-clear following an alarm.
If an earthquake has the potential to generate a destructive tsunami due to its magnitude, the depth of the hypocentre and the location (distinction between seaquakes / earthquakes on land), then we send corresponding tsunami warnings to our subscribers via SMS regardless of their location.
We do not send out a message for severe earthquakes which, however, will in all likelihood not generate a destructive tsunami, e.g. due to their location.
