Earthquake Early Warning System

An Earthquake Early Warning System is a technology designed to detect seismic activity and alert people before the shaking arrives. It uses a network of sensors to monitor the ground for initial seismic waves, which travel faster than damaging waves. When an earthquake is detected, a warning is sent out through various channels, allowing individuals and systems to take protective measures, like dropping to the ground or shutting down critical infrastructure. This can save lives and reduce injuries, as even a few seconds of warning can make a significant difference during an earthquake.
