OpenEEW is an initiative by Grillo, IBM, and The Linux Foundation that offers accessible, IoT-based earthquake early warning (EEW) systems. It provides accelerometer data from Mexico, Chile, and other countries, algorithms for real-time detection, and software examples for creating EEW servers. The tool includes hardware and firmware designs for building seismic sensors, and application software for receiving alerts on mobile devices. OpenEEW seeks to make EEW systems accessible to underserved communities, offering guidance for sensor deployment and alert management.
OpenEEW solves the problem of high costs and inaccessibility of traditional earthquake early warning systems by offering a low-cost, open-source IoT-based solution. This enables underserved communities to implement effective systems for detecting and alerting about earthquakes, enhancing their disaster response capabilities.
OpenEEW is an open-source tool that allows for the creation of earthquake early warning systems using IoT-based seismic sensors. It detects and characterizes earthquakes in real time, sending alerts through mobile apps and devices, allowing communities to prepare before an earthquake hits.
