High Sensitivity Accelerometers
Metra Mess- und Frequenztechnik in Radebeul e.K.
The piezoelectric accelerometers on this page are intended for the measurement of lowest vibrations. Typical fields of application include the monitoring of buildings, dams, bridges, oil platforms and pipelines. These sensors are often called seismic accelerometers because they are used to monitor construction activity, volcanoes and earthquakes. Their high sensitivity is achieved -unlike other high sensitivity accelerometers- by the sensing element itself and not by internal amplification. From this results highest resolution and lowest noise.

Search. Detect. Rescue.
LifeLocator TRx
Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
The LifeLocator TRx locates live victims trapped at a disaster site for urban search and rescue. It uses ultra-wideband (UWB) technology to detect signs of life when disasters like earthquakes, floods, explosions or similar occurrences result in victims trapped under debris piles.

Emergency Alternative EDFA system
Telecommunication systems are vitally important in our daily lives, even more so during the rescue and recovery processes upon natural disasters, such as the earthquake hitting the east-coast of Japan in 2011. The deadly earthquake rattled the nation coast before unleashing a deadly tsunami that swept away cars, homes and businesses as it touched land. The communication infrastructure was among the victims. Rapid rebuilding of the telecommunication system becomes an absolute priority.

Earthquake Early Warning
MyShake
UC Berkeley Seismological Laboratory
MyShake is a free app for Android phones that has the ability to recognize earthquake shaking using the sensors in every smartphone. The app runs “silently” in the background on your phone using very little power – just like the step-tracking fitness apps. When the shaking fits the vibrational profile of an earthquake, the app sends the anonymous information to our central system that confirms the location and magnitude of the quake.
