OpenEEW

A low cost, open source, IoT-based earthquake early warning system.

What is OpenEEW?

We are building technology to detect the earliest signs of an earthquake and issue alerts. The technology could provide people critical time to seek cover or exit buildings before shaking arrives.

OpenEEW is a growing project. We need volunteers to install sensors, start networks in seismically vulnerable regions, and contribute to the next generation of OpenEEW technology.

Ground Motion Sensors

Our sensors are low-cost, high-quality seismometers that could be deployed with ease to monitor ground motion.

Cloud-based detection system and dashboard

Our dashboard reflects detected earthquakes and allows sensor owners to manage their devices.

OpenEEW Dashboard

Global network of seismically-active regions

Our system is most valuable in densely-populated areas where large earthquakes are likely to occur.
