EEWS-Hazard

Earthquake Early Warning System is a collaborative project of Pulchowk Campus and Duke University. This project team is divided into three groups. Hazard Group is working towards different hazard and risk analysis in Nepal. Attenuation Group is working to predict the p-wave detection in a wave for potential warning system. Hardware/Software Group is developing software and assembling it in sensors for sensor installation at different locations of Nepal.
