Live Map
The Live map is the first page you see after signing in. It shows your stations on a dark map, and earthquake detection as it happens. It has two modes, chosen at the top of the side panel:
- LIVE follows your project's stations and their real detections.
- SIMULATION plays a scenario earthquake over your real stations, so you can see how detection works.
What the map shows
- Your stations. The Legend counts stations and Offline stations
- Fault lines
- During an event: stations that have Picked the waves, the epicenter, the expanding P-wave and S-wave fronts, and where there is Shaking now
- Estimated shaking zones around the epicenter, from Minor to Severe
Stations with no saved location are not on the map; a note says how many.
Use the full-screen button to show the map on its own, for example on a wall screen.
The side panel
The status at the top of the panel says what detection is doing:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| MONITORING | Stations are reporting and there is no event, for example 14 of 15 stations reporting · no event |
| DETECTING | One or more stations have picked the waves and Grillo Cloud is locating the event |
| EVENT LOCATED | The event has a location and magnitude, and the panel says when the alert was issued, in seconds after the origin |
Once an event is located, the panel shows its Magnitude, Depth, and Location, and a list of places with how many seconds each has before Strong shaking reaches it, or no warning where shaking had already arrived.
The Event log lists each pick, the location, and S-wave arrivals as they happen.
LIVE FEED CONNECTED shows the map is receiving detections. If it stays on CONNECTING TO LIVE FEED…, refresh the page. The latency readout shows how long picks and events take to reach your screen.
If any stations are offline, the bar at the bottom says how many. Select it to open Sensors filtered to offline sensors.
Simulation mode
Switch to SIMULATION. A banner across the map reads SIMULATED SCENARIO · NOT REAL EVENTS. Choose a speed of 1×, 2×, or 4×.
The simulation uses your project's real station positions and needs at least 4 reporting stations. It plays picks, locates the event, and animates the waves and shaking.
:::danger Simulation is not real data The events in Simulation mode are made up. Check which mode is selected before acting on anything shown on this page. Simulated events are not added to the event catalog. :::
Limits
The live map is a monitoring view for your team. It does not itself send SMS, email, or mobile alerts, and it is not a public warning service. See Earthquake Early Warning for what warning time is physically possible.
