Welcome to GeoNet - the official source of geological hazard information for New Zealand.

With the addition of GeoNet Rapid, there are some new ways that you can connect with us online.

Android

Get custom earthquake notifications from GeoNet Rapid, direct to your Android (2.2+) device for free!

Android app on Google Play

This fetches earthquake information from GeoNet Rapid and displays it on your Android device in a list or map view. You can chose to display All quakes or My Quakes based on location and intensity.

The frequency of updates is configurable. We've done everything we can to minimise the background data usage but we still recommend that you keep an eye on the application to make sure it isn't using more data than you are comfortable with.

GeoNet Bloggers

In addition to the official GeoNet News page, we now have a number of GeoNet Bloggers:

Twitter

  • @geonet_felt tweets the first automatic location for potentially "felt" quakes.
  • @geonet_all tweets the first automatic location for all detected quakes. Beware, with over 15,000 earthquakes located each year, this will be extremely verbose.

RSS Feeds

We also have two new RSS feeds that you can syndicate:
