Massey University, to source a number of low- “The sensors would be installed in commun- cost seismometers and work with a number of ity owned buildings to generate appropriate communities to see if they would be willing to warning solutions for members of the commun- become part of a research project aiming to trial ity.” After earlier meetings at Massey University in Wellington, Orewa and Nelson, the research team last week brainstormed with residents in Lower Hutt. The residents expressed their thoughts and concerns on owning a private seismometer as part of a possible future network of low-cost seismic sensors that could issue earthquake early warnings. “Ideally, the sensors hosted by the citizen seismologists would be configured as a network of sensors to test different detection algorithms. “The data gathered from the community will help us explore the feasibility of generating warnings using these low-cost sensors. The warning may only be 10 seconds, but it will give people time to take the safety action of ‘drop, cover, and hold’,” said Raj. The work builds on other EQC research by Dr Julia Becker from Joint Centre for Disaster Research at Massey University, who last year discovered there is strong interest among New Zealand residents, businesses and agencies in an early warning system for earthquakes. New Zealand may not have the financial resources of some other countries, like Japan, to replicate their state-of-the-art early warning systems. “That is why we have been looking into low- cost options that people could possibly acquire in the future, complementing the existing Geonet seismic sensor network that currently provides vital earthquake related information immediately after an earthquake occurs,” said Raj. He explains his team has been testing a number of off-the-shelf low-cost sensors in the laboratory setting and hope to start installing about 20-25 of the sensors in the middle of the year to conduct field trials. Once installed, the sensors will be connected as part of a smart internet-based sensor net- work. If a large earthquake takes down some part of the communication infrastructure, the sensor network would automatically adapt and find ways to reconnect with the remaining sensors if power can still be accessed. He says workshops like the one in Lower Hutt are vital to find out what the community wants and to understand the pros and cons of such a system being used by the public. “For example, do people want a warning for every earthquake or only the big ones? We also want their feedback on how much members of the community would be willing to spend on a sensor and if people would be willing to get one in their homes. “These are all really important questions that need some end-user perspectives. At the end of this study, we expect to have a more accurate understanding of people’s thoughts on being part of an earthquake early warning system contributed by members of the community.”
