Earthquake alerts for regional response teams

Seismic sensors feed field recorders that send readings over Ethernet or selected network links. GeoRAPTOR combines station results to issue configured warnings and present estimated shaking arrival times and impact maps.

About Earthquake alerts for regional response teams

Connected seismic stations give regional teams measured inputs for warning and post-event review. GeoSIG combines suitable acceleration or velocity sensors, GMS-series recorders and GeoRAPTOR, the application at the centre of its earthquake warning system. Field stations contribute to the event detection and evaluation. The application brings their results together and presents the estimated arrival time and intensity of strong shaking for the defined monitoring area.

Recorders send the selected signals through Ethernet or the agreed additional network arrangement. Supported GMS equipment runs the selected on-station warning method and supplies data to the central software. Algorithms and triggers are configured for the local geology, seismic activity and station distribution. The application shows system and station status alongside a live map of the represented event and wave propagation.

Configured warning signals connect to the agreed alert systems and visual indicators. After sufficient station information is received, automatic analysis presents interactive shaking maps and the estimated distribution of seismic impact. Recorded events are available for replay, and station access supports maintenance. Regional staff use the warning and mapped results when carrying out the response procedures assigned to the instrumented area.

How it works

Sense
Measure acceleration or velocity at selected seismic stations.
Connect
Stream recorder inputs through Ethernet or selected network links.
Analyze
Evaluate event triggers and estimate shaking arrival and intensity.
Act
Issue configured warnings and present post-event shaking maps.

Does it fit your project?

Best suited to

  • Regional earthquake response and monitoring teams
  • Infrastructure operators with defined warning procedures
  • Staff reviewing post-event shaking maps

You need

  • Selected seismic sensors and GMS recorders
  • Agreed station network access
  • Project warning method and alert interfaces
  • Configured GeoRAPTOR application

Limitations

  • No prediction before an earthquake begins
  • No guaranteed advance warning everywhere
  • Requires project-specific station distribution and algorithms

Questions and answers

Does the warning application use both station-level and regional evaluation?

GeoRAPTOR combines on-site and regional warning approaches, with algorithms and triggers shared between the field stations and the central application.

Which information accompanies a detected-event warning?

GeoRAPTOR presents estimated strong-shaking arrival time and intensity, along with visual indicators and integration to the agreed alert system.

Can staff review the seismic impact after the event as well?

After sufficient station information is received, GeoRAPTOR calculates parameter distributions and presents interactive shaking maps. Recorded events are also available for replay.
