Abstract

The Geophysical Institute of the National Polytechnic School mentions that Ecuador is close to the area where the Nazca and South American plates converge, which determines an important seismic activity. This research work describes the creation of a mobile application that as a result speeds up the registration of having felt the telluric movement by taking the exact location through geolocation, in addition to relevant data such as date, time and how strong the earthquake was felt. To carry out the proposed system, the Scrum methodology was used, in which roles, user stories and product were defined. To test the correct operation, tests were performed on physical mobile devices for the mobile application and the earthquake management page.
