The advanced earthquake early warning system secty lifePatron® detected the Mexican Earthquake

The advanced earthquake early warning system secty lifePatron® has detected in capital city Mexico City the 300 km distant Mexican Earthquake from March 21, 2012 and released a so called “Pretrigger” (preliminary stage to the earthquake alarm). The 7.8 magnitude (Richter) earthquake above the epi-center has led in 300 km distant Mexico City to no significant damages and to only a few persons injured. The systems has released an “pretrigger” , because the threshold value for the earthquake alert was not adjusted on the lowest value. One has decided this consciously in order not to release an earthquake alert with every earthquake of low intensity at which no or only less damages are to be expected.

Conclusion:
Once again secty lifePatron® has proven its functionality and safely detected and analyzed an earthquake. After this earthquake and at the request of the customer the threshold value was minimized in order to release  an earthquake alert also in case of a  far away point of origin of a strong earthquakes, because in Central America it has shown that due to the in part bad basic structure of the buildings even low intensities (the earthquake has clearly weakened in 300 km of the point of origin) can result in damage of buildings and infrastructure.
