An earthquake monitoring system being developed by the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad (IIT-H) as the nodal institute in collaboration with 10 other institutes located in India and Japan will aid in coordinating an early warning system for earthquakes, reports IBNLive. "There are two approaches to develop a disaster mitigation and recovery system. Either a powerful sensor can be installed or multiple sensors with lower power can be installed and connected to pass information. We are focusing our research on the second approach," the director explained.
