EDUS (Early Earthquake Warning System)
Stay safe with Türkiye's first and only public earthquake early warning network. EDUS transforms your smartphones into a powerful earthquake detection network, alerting you to tremors seconds in advance and saving you valuable time.
Feel the Earthquake Seconds Before!
Our system detects seismic waves using accelerometer sensors in phones that are charging and at rest. When an earthquake begins, our system immediately alerts nearby users as soon as it detects the P wave (the first, less destructive wave). This gives you critical seconds to take action before the more destructive S wave arrives.
💡 How Does It Work?
Smart Sensor Network: While your phone is charging, it becomes part of the EDUS network and monitors potential seismic activity.
Minimum Battery Consumption: The system is only active while your phone is charging, so it doesn't impact your battery life.
High Sensitivity: Keeping your phone at rest allows for more sensitive detection of seismic waves.
A Stronger Network: The more users use EDUS, the stronger our network becomes, increasing the speed and accuracy of alerts. Our goal is to create a dense and reliable detection network across Turkey.
Fast and Accurate: Thanks to our advanced algorithms, we aim to provide faster and more accurate earthquake warnings compared to similar systems.
