Natural Hazards Alexa Skill
Our Natural Hazards Skill for Alexa devices is an official collaboration between EQC, GeoNet and the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management (MCDEM).
Using MMI data based on GeoNet ‘felt’ reports of earthquakes, Natural Hazards provides information about the strength and location of recent quakes that might have occurred near your location. You can also ask information about earthquakes that might have occurred near New Zealand’s six largest cities.
Following quake information, EQC and Civil Defence tips are provided to help you prepare your homes and yourself for various natural hazards.
