Abstract

Large magnitude earthquakes may cause significant losses of life and property. Designing an earthquake alarm to detect the magnitude of the quake and give an alarm. A method is described in the present disclosure which includes detecting a longitudinal wave of a seismic movement by an accelerometer. Determining whether a magnitude of the longitudinal wave exceeds a predetermined threshold, and wirelessly transmitting an alarm notification indicating seismic movement to at least one alarm device. If making many alarm devices, they can form a network and communicate each other.
