In addition, the presented application is a mobile application that contains emergency phone numbers and can provide general information about an earthquake which people can benefit from before and after the earthquake. With the presented application, people will be able to easily access information about earthquakes. Moreover, safe areas in which to shelter after an earthquake are offered to the user. Information about an earthquake kit is given to user in the application. The earthquake kit should be prepared before the earthquake. The application also includes emergency sounds that can be used in the event of an earthquake. A survey system is designed to determine the intensity of the earthquake as it is felt by the users.
