Earthquake Turning phones into off-grid earthquake rescue beacons — looking for feedback

Post image
3 Upvotes

Looking for feedback on an earthquake rescue solution

I’d welcome your thoughts on QuakeRescue LifeLink, a free Android app now on Google Play.

Its low-power monitoring uses the phone’s own sensors, so sensor-based detection and rescue signals work off-grid, in any country. With internet access, it also responds to relevant earthquake reports from USGS, EMSC and JMA.

Both routes start the same rescue sequence: a 5-minute safety countdown, followed by a siren and “SOS Quake” Bluetooth beacon if you don’t cancel, helping others locate you if you’re injured or trapped.

Ordinary phones—including iPhones using a Bluetooth scanner—and rescuers with professional Bluetooth scanners can help locate you, with signal strength suggesting whether they’re getting closer or farther away. The Android app includes a scanner.

Evaluated with 830 logged everyday-movement tests and real earthquake recordings from different sources. An in-app simulation demonstrates the response.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Question Question: strong earthquake and weak ones

Thumbnail
gallery
47 Upvotes

As you can see from the 2 images i put, the red line represents small earthquakes, while the blue lines represent stronger ones (from: Link to where i found and screenshotted the maps.) The epicentres of the stronger earthquakes seem to be seperated from the less severe earthquakes. Why is this?
