Dozens of earthquakes occur around the world every day. Fortunately, most of them are too small to seriously jeopardise human activities. A severe problem arises only with a massive earthquake of great intensity.
The exact moment when a strong earthquake hits cannot be predicted yet. Therefore, it is even more critical to build a sufficiently fast, effective, and efficient warning system in endangered areas, bringing people valuable seconds to rescue their lives and property.

A severe problem arises only with a massive earthquake of great intensity. The exact moment when a strong earthquake hits cannot be predicted yet. Therefore, it is even more critical to build a sufficiently fast, effective, and efficient warning system in endangered areas, bringing people valuable seconds to rescue their lives and property.
The basis of early earthquake warning systems is formed by reliable seismic sensors that can detect seismic waves and then, after the immediate evaluation, automatically activate a warning signal. It will provide people in the endangered area with valuable seconds for their rescue.
Seismic sensors are connected directly to an electronic siren, which is automatically activated in dangerous earth tremors. The system is automated and independent, so it works even in case of a power failure, which is a common side effect of earthquakes. Large systems are equipped with Vektra® software applications (SCADA, Warning, and Notification). When sensors detect dangerous earthquake activity (continuously monitored by Vektra® SCADA), all sirens are automatically activated (Vektra® Warning). Simultaneously, all first responders are notified by voice or text of the impending danger (Vektra® Notification).

Seismic sensors are installed in the lowest parts of buildings (such as basements) and monitor seismic waves. When dangerous seismic waves are detected, the sensors immediately and automatically activate a warning system. They are connected directly to an electronic siren and transmit the acquired data to the control centre.
After detecting dangerous seismic activity, electronic sirens immediately and automatically issue a warning signal. Their most significant advantage is that they cover a large area and deliver a warning message to the population in an endangered area as soon as possible. After the initial tremors have subsided, voice messages can be used to coordinate the affected people and assist in rescue operations. The electronic siren system can be activated individually or in groups from the control centre, independent of the commercial infrastructure. With solar power supply, sirens can be installed even in places without an external energy source.
Equipped with the OCP16 control panel or Vektra® software applications, the control centre automatically activates warnings and notifications in an emergency. The entire technology is highly secure and fully backed up. From the control centre, it is also possible to start the system in other emergencies and disasters.
Communications infrastructure provides high-speed communications between the control centre and other monitoring, warning, and notification systems. At the same time, it allows the connection of these systems with third-party systems.
All responsible persons and emergency units are informed of an emergency by telephone or through SMS and are summoned to work and rescue operations.

An earthquake early warning system uses third-party sensors to detect seismic waves and automatically transmit the data to the control system. When predefined criteria are met, the system can activate electronic sirens and other notification channels to alert the public or facility personnel before the most destructive seismic waves arrive.
An automated earthquake warning system integrates third-party seismic sensors, control systems, communications, and warning devices. After detecting and evaluating a seismic event, it can automatically activate electronic sirens and other warning mechanisms based on the configured settings and established emergency procedures.
Third-party seismic sensors detect seismic activity and transmit data to the control system. When the defined warning conditions are met, the system activates electronic sirens and can broadcast warning messages and instructions to people in the risk area.
An earthquake warning system for cities and municipalities combines seismic detection using third-party sensors, control centers, communications, and a network of electronic sirens to alert the public in areas exposed to earthquake risk. The system can be designed around the size of the area, population distribution, seismic risk, and civil defense procedures.
In industrial plants, facilities, and large complexes, an earthquake warning system can detect seismic events using third-party sensors, quickly alert employees and visitors, and activate established emergency procedures. It can also integrate with control and automation systems to carry out the facility’s predefined safety measures.
For critical infrastructure, an earthquake warning system can provide early warning to responsible personnel and activate emergency procedures. The solution can integrate third-party seismic sensors, control systems, communications, electronic sirens, and other infrastructure technologies.
A professional earthquake warning system is a comprehensive solution designed to protect the public, large areas, facilities, and infrastructure. It integrates seismic detection using third-party sensors, event evaluation, communications, control systems, and electronic sirens to generate and distribute warnings. By contrast, an earthquake alarm may be a stand-alone device with more limited warning capabilities and without the infrastructure required for mass notification.
