Since the Hualien earthquake on April 3, there have been constant aftershocks in Taiwan! Last night, there were two consecutive felt earthquakes with a magnitude of 6 or above. The latest statement from the Meteorological Administration pointed out that “aftershocks are likely to occur in the next six months to a year.” In order to prevent disaster before it happens, netizens strongly recommend 2 “earthquake alarm” apps. It has been tested that the alarm will go off earlier when used.
On Android phones, the most popular app is “KNY Weather”, which can receive alerts 30 seconds before an earthquake. Previously, on April 3, some netizens shared that after receiving the alert, they still had time to take a screenshot and upload it. Give it to a friend and slowly walk outside before the earthquake begins.
If you are an iPhone user, you can consider using “Taiwan Earthquake Alert”. You will also receive an alert a few seconds before an earthquake, giving users time to prepare. However, the “alert locations” provided by the App are only Taipei City, Hsinchu City, Taichung City, Chiayi City, Tainan City, Kaohsiung City, Yilan County, Hualien and other counties and cities. If your residence is not within the range, you can choose a nearby area.
Due to the recent numerous aftershocks, in order to prevent your phone from ringing endlessly, you can adjust the “early warning intensity” in the app and set it to level 3 or 4 to reduce frequent notification alerts.
