DISASTER TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION PARTNERSHIP / SAFE STEPS D-TECH AWARDS
Earthquakes, such as the one that struck the Indonesian island of Lombok in August 2018, are one of the disaster scenarios that the SAFE STEPS D-Tech Awards hope to mitigate by uncovering new technology.
First runner-up SeismicAI – an algorithm-driven earthquake early warning system that is designed to be deployed quickly and cheaply anywhere in the world – have also used the awards as a springboard to develop and implement their technology globally, with pilot projects now underway in India, the Philippines, Turkey and Canada.
