SeismicAi enhances Shakealert in North America for EEW accuracy

Success Story: SeismicAI Enhances ShakeAlert® for Accurate Offshore Earthquake Warnings in North America

Customer

A Government Agency in a North American country develops policies and programs that enhance the contribution of the natural resources sector to the economy, and conducts innovative science activities in facilities across the country.

Challenge

This country faces significant earthquake risks, particularly in regions with low seismic network density and offshore earthquakes. The challenge was to enhance the precision of Earthquake Early Warning systems in these areas. Funded by the government agency, this initiative aimed to improve alert accuracy and ensure timely warnings for potentially devastating earthquakes.

Objective

Improve accuracy of National earthquake early warning system, aiming to protect the civilian population, communities and cities

Solution

SeismicAI collaborated with Tel Aviv University (TAU) on a project to enhance EEW processing methods in the North American country. The existing EEW system in the country is based on a national alert system. SeismicAI’s R&D team and seismology experts tested their advanced algorithms within this system, focusing on enhancing alert precision for offshore and low-network-density regions. Following a successful two-year pilot in the country, where SeismicAI’s system performance was closely monitored and evaluated, the project moved forward under the continued collaboration with TAU.

Description

SeismicAI’s experts leveraged their proprietary algorithms to optimize the national alert system’s performance. This initiative is part of broad efforts by the government to bolster emergency readiness and infrastructure resilience. SeismicAI’s innovative system offers a unique SaaS model that supports business continuity and damage mitigation. Developed by leading seismologists, it provides swift and reliable alerts, covering the full early warning cycle from monitoring and reporting to triggering automated preventive actions. This collaboration aims to ensure that people in areas covered by the earthquake early warning network in the country receive the earliest and most accurate alerts, allowing them to maintain safety and routine where possible.

Outcome

The areas in the North American country covered by SeismicAI’s earthquake early warning systems can receive swift and accurate alerts, enabling civilians and organizations more time to prepare and take preventive actions.
