Every
year thousands of people die because of earthquake occurs in a dangerous place
or during a defenseless sleep. Here's a GSM-based seismic alert system that
could warn before an earthquake strikes. Earthquakes strike without warning.
The resulting damage can be minimized and lives can be saved if people living
in the earthquake-prone area are already prepared to survive the strike. This
requires a warning before strong ground motion from the earthquake arrival.
Such a warning system is possible because of energy wave released at the
epicenter of the earth quake travels slower than light. The warning signal from
the earthquake epicenter can be transmitted to different places using satellite
communication network, fiber-optics network, pager service, Cell phone services
or a combination of these. The satellite-based network is ideal when an alert
system has to cover a large country like India. For earthquake-prone states
like Gujarat, a seismic alert system using the global system for mobile
communication network spread throughout the state is proposed here. This system
does not try to find the epicenter or fault line caused by the earthquake. It
simply monitors the earth vibrations and generates alert signal when the level
of earth vibrations crosses a threshold.
