GeoNet is a natural hazards monitoring system in New Zealand that monitors earthquakes, large landslides, volcanoes, tsunami, and movement of land. Earthquakes and other natural hazards are automatically listed on the GeoNet website and app, and app users are given notifications to be warned about natural hazards. GeoNet was founded in 2001 by GNS Science, the Earthquake Commission and Land Information New Zealand.
