RingNet
$ earthquake_nowcast --unified --realtime
- android
A unified platform that predicts earthquakes using machine learning, monitors floods, heatwaves, and tsunamis, and delivers instant, localized alerts to keep communities safe.
FEATURES
6 features
Seismic Nowcast
ML-based short-window earthquake nowcasting for regions within 500 km.
Multi-Hazard Map
Floods, heatwaves, tsunamis, every active hazard tracked on a single map.
Geo-Targeted Alerts
FCM push notifications localized to your saved cities, with per-hazard cooldowns.
Offline Resilience
Last-known hazard state cached for 72 hours so the app stays useful without signal.
Multi-Language
Full UI in English and اردو, automatic locale detection.
Open Data Backbone
Pulls from USGS, PMD, GDACS and NOAA, rate-limited and cached server-side.

FAQ
4 entries
- q: can it actually predict earthquakes?
- a: no model is certain. RingNet outputs a *nowcast*, a probability band for the next 72h based on seismicity patterns, stress signals, and historical clustering. Treat it as guidance, never a guarantee.
- q: is my location data shared?
- a: no. saved cities are stored device-local. push tokens route through FCM and are bound to anonymous alert topics.
- q: why android only?
- a: iOS in evaluation. the push-topic / background-sync story on iOS needs a different architecture. eta q3 2026.
- q: how are alerts throttled?
- a: per-city cooldown of 20min for seismic, 2h for heat/flood, instant override for M>5.5 or tsunami warnings.
