Do you want to keep yourself abreast of any happenings around you? Do you also want to be warned ahead of any natural disaster before it could happen? Do you want to receive alert notification, reports, and imagery as they become available? Then you need Earth Alerts.

What’s Earth Alerts all about?

Earth Alerts allows you to monitor in near real-time a variety of natural hazard events that are occurring anywhere around the world. Alert notifications, reports, and imagery provide the user with a convenient way to view natural phenomenon as they occur, whether close to home or some far-flung corner of the globe.

Earth Alerts uses a variety of online resources provided by organizations such as the National Weather Service, U.S. Geological Survey and Smithsonian Institution (just to name a few), to identify what sort of activities “Mother Earth” is currently dishing out on the planet.

Latest updates and changes made to the software include the following: bug fixes that were preventing display of active storms in the Central/Western Pacific regions; coding changes to reference the new Google Maps API links; and various minor bug fixes.

Does it have any downside?

The program takes a little more time to start after installation.
