# How to Build Earthquake Dashboards with ChatGPT

ChatGPT transforms earthquake data into understandable information by explaining magnitudes in practical terms people can relate to, contextualizing events within tectonic plate dynamics, and helping you assess what seismic activity means for your safety or business operations. It adds the narrative layer that makes raw USGS data meaningful to non-specialists, drafts internal communications about notable events, and helps teams make informed decisions without requiring everyone to become a seismology expert.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Get recent earthquakes and suggest a dashboard layout"
3. ChatGPT returns earthquake data with design recommendations
4. Request: "Define alert thresholds for low, medium, and high severity"

## Example Prompt

```
Help me design an earthquake monitoring dashboard. Show me recent significant events and suggest alert thresholds based on magnitude and proximity.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can help define alert criteria appropriate for your use case
- Ask for notification message templates for different severity levels
- Request a data refresh strategy that balances timeliness with API efficiency
