LINOG.ph is a live earthquake tracker for the Philippines.

The Philippines deals with thousands of earthquakes a year. Whenever the government volcanology and seismology department detects earthquakes, they post it on their official website.

When a major earthquake happens, a huge number of people try to visit the site, causing downtime for up to an hour.

LINOG.ph caches earthquake data from the official government website and the U.S. Geological Survey site, and makes them highly available to the public.

I built this after seeing friends and family donating and providing support for affected families after a major earthquake in Cebu. This was my way of helping out.

Two super typhoons have hit the Philippines in the past two weeks, so I'm also considering adding in typhoon tracking.
