ABSTRACT
Crisis mitigation runs in the roots.
Hailing from earthquake prone regions of Assam and Gujarat in India, we understand that the need for humane awareness amidst chaos of natural anguish is the most important element in the context of survival. The Portable Earthquake Detector a low-cost earthquake detection system to enhance local safety as well as help vulnerable groups in hospitals and old age homes. By integrating a 3-axis accelerometer, and LED indicators, the system detects and visualizes ground vibrations in real time, providing an accessible tool for early warning and community awareness. .

ARDUINO CODE
Key notes for the code:
- The threshold for the ‘g’ values :
- Low threshold : Safe- >0.001
- Medium threshold: Alarming vibration- >0.05
- High threshold: Must evacuate- > 0.2
- Acceleration of gravity (g) formula: square root of (x²+y²+z²).
- The accelerometer provides the x, y and z values at a set frequency.
