QuakeAlert reacts to vertical ground movements caused by vibrations which are in the form of waves. The typical consumer of a QuakeAlert detector can rest assured of being woken up as the first arrival waves or “P” waves reach the surface of the earth, thereby giving themselves and their families precious time to react before the arrival of more destructive waves. This early warning is possible through the use of a special transducing element set, adjusted to the specific frequency of the first arrival waves (“P”). The detector is extremely accurate and will sound only when a vertical displacement above a certain level occurs.
