Design and Implementation of Earthquake Detection and Alert System

Abstract

The Earthquake Detection and Alert System (EDAS) proposed in this project aims to provide a robust and efficient solution for early earthquake detection and timely dissemination of alerts. With the increasing frequency of seismic events globally and their potential catastrophic consequences, there's a critical need for advanced systems capable of detecting earthquakes swiftly and alerting populations to take necessary safety measures. The EDAS leverages a network of seismic sensors strategically positioned in earthquake-prone regions. These sensors continuously monitor ground movements and detect seismic waves generated by earthquakes. Upon detecting anomalous seismic activity, the system employs sophisticated algorithms for event detection and localization, accurately determining the epicenter and magnitude of the earthquake. Once an earthquake is detected, the system initiates alert procedures through various communication channels, including mobile applications, SMS, sirens, and other public announcement systems. These alerts are disseminated rapidly to inform residents, emergency responders, and relevant authorities about the impending threat, allowing them to take proactive measures to mitigate risks and minimize damage.
