Linux Foundation hosting OpenEEW

Today the Linux Foundation has begun to host the open source EEW project OpenEEW.
Grillo generates real-time alerts when an earthquake is detected. Protect your family, your business or your community.
People live with threat of earthquakes globally

Grillo has created an IoT-based earthquake early-warning system (EEW) that generates alerts quickly and accurately. EEWs provide citizens with seconds or minutes of advance warning before shaking is felt.
Grillo’s EEW has been operational in Mexico since 2017, outperforming the national system SASMEX.
Learn how it works here.
Safeguard your family or business with alerts that announce shaking before it starts.
Deploy a dedicated network of sensors to provide alerts and data for citizen and emergency services.
Use our existing networks or deploy your own sensors to get high resolution seismic data.
We believe in open source as a way to accelerate social impact. Through collaboration, more communities will adopt and advance this technology.
The core components of the Grillo EEW are now available as OpenEEW.

We compare Grillo’s sensors to expensive observatory grade sensors.
The Mexican EEWs We regularly run benchmark analysis of Grillo’s Earthquake Early-Warning system (EEW) against other systems in Mexico. This year we were pleased to
“This earthquake alarm can predict when tremors will strike”
“A solution like Grillo has been the dream of the engineering community”
“Grillo could save thousands of lives”
“Grillo’s sensors collect microdata on effects of shaking which could better assess risk of damage”
