Early Warning Systems

1. What is an Early Warning System (SAT)? Early warning is one of the main elements in reducing risk and damage caused by natural disasters such as floods, volcanic eruptions, and avalanches.

It prevents loss of life and reduces the adverse economic and material impacts of disasters. To be effective, Early Warning Systems must actively include communities at risk, facilitate education and public awareness of such risks, effectively disseminate messages and alerts, and ensure constant and ongoing preparedness.

The success of a SAT lies in the operational and response capacity of the personnel who operate the system. In this context, every minute of anticipation of a disaster is vital to carry out emergency response plans. Hence, members with a monitoring task must be made up of a group of responsible people.

In addition, the system must have a technology that is reliable and that has adequate forecasts and redundancies so that it does not fail under any circumstance.

The monitoring stations permanently measure river levels, and climatic variables such as levels of precipitation, temperature, ambient humidity, etc. The collected data is analyzed and sent periodically, and/or for alarm events to the platform. The data is collected on the platform and in real time analytics and predictive models are performed, in the event of an abnormal situation being found, the alert states are sent to the emergency care units: Fire, disaster service department, etc.

The data from these sensors is collected by an IoT device and sent via a long-range telecommunications network such as Sigfox / Lora or GSM to the Internet. Once the level of risk has been evaluated, we begin with the activation of mitigation protocols, the activation of alerts and evacuation alarms to the affected community.

SENSORS FOR EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS Rain Gauges

Rain gauges are useful instruments for determining the amount of millimeters (mm) of rain that falls in a Measurement range given time. They must be installed in the upper part of 0 to 4 mm/min the rivers, and according to previous studies of the Resolution behavior of the river and the historical ones, the levels 0.28 mm. of flood alert are determined according to the amount of rainfall measured.

The rain gauge consists of a small bucket that, once full, closes a switch and empties automatically. Thus, it generates a digital signal whose frequency is proportional to the intensity of the rain in millimeters of rain per minute (mm / min).

It needs to be mounted horizontally to ensure its measurements are correct.

These sensors provide complementary information on the state of the climate before and during natural disaster events, data that is used for predictions of climate behavior, probability of rain, hurricanes, spread of forest fires, etc.

Use: Indoor and outdoor.

IP rating: IP65 Sensors to determine wind direction and speed

These instruments allow determining risks associated with the wind, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, direction and speed of propagation of forest fires and Basic Anemometer dispersal of volcanic ash. Measurement range 0 to 240 km/h The anemometer consists of a normally open Hall Resolution effect switch that closes when the anemometer 2,4 km/h/vuelta. completes a turn, so the output is a digital signal with frequency proportional to wind speed in km/h.

The vane consists of a base with a vane that rotates freely on a network of eight or more resistors connected to switches that close when a magnet on the base acts on them.

Particulate matter sensors are used to determine risks from volcanic emissions, and in cities it is used to determine the status of environmental pollution.

The dust sensor uses the laser scattering principle to detect the existence of a concentration of dust particles in the air; It can detect particles up to 1.0 micron, it has good consistency and stability.

Its casing is made of ABS polymer for outdoor use. A much more compact version of the sensor can be used indoors.
