FAQs

How do I use Earthquake Buddy?

Earthquake Buddy is a high-tech app, but easy to use!

You will be asked to invite 4 friends or family members who live in the same town or city - BUT DO NOT LIVE OR WORK AT THE SAME PLACE AS YOU. These Buddies can find you if you are trapped or lost in a quake. You may also choose an overseas parent or guardian as a Buddy if you’re travelling and will only be in a quake zone for a short period of time.

In a major earthquake, your Buddies will be automatically sent an email showing a Google map of exactly where you are. This email is sent instantaneously as soon as an earthquake over 5.5 Richter is registered. Importantly it is sent from our secure server and does not rely on your handphone in order to be sent.

Buddies can also receive an SMS, a Facebook post or a tweet with the same details. Earthquake Buddy will guide you to send these alerts to your Buddies.

When a quake hits, all you have to do is contact your buddies as soon as you can, and tell them that ‘you’re OK!’. If your Buddies do NOT hear from you after 30 minutes, then they know where you are and can come and find you and/or tell Emergency Services that you are trapped or missing at the place shown on the map.

You will be guided to choose these 4 ‘Quake Buddies’ either from your phone’s contact list, or from Facebook. Choose them carefully as these are the people who can save your life in a quake.

Once invited your Buddies can be seen on the Home Screen.

Your invited Buddies are asked to ‘agree to be your Earthquake Buddy’ with a relevant explanation. As soon as they agree, a green light is displayed next to their name on the Buddies page. If a red light is displayed, you can send them a reminder. If a friend does not agree to be your Earthquake Buddy, simply find another person whom you trust and ask them.

That’s all you have to do!
