Earthquake Detection and Alert System

Overview

The Earthquake Detection and Alert System detects P-waves (Primary waves) before the arrival of S-waves (Secondary waves) from an earthquake. This early detection allows for timely alerts to people and can also be integrated with building dampers to reduce earthquake impact.

Project Structure

• .gitignore: Specifies files and directories to be ignored by Git.
• README.md: This file.
• backend/: Contains server-side code.
• nano.txt: Details for working with Nano sensors.
• nodemcu.txt: Details for working with NodeMCU.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js: Ensure you have Node.js installed. Download Node.js.
• Hardware:
  • Adxl 355: Configure as described in nano.txt.
  • NodeMCU: Follow instructions in nodemcu.txt for integration.

Setup

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PragatiBasnet29/earthquake_and-_alter_system.git
   cd earthquake_and-_alter_system`
   

2. Install Dependencies:

   Install the necessary Node.js packages:

   npm install

3. Configuration:

   Configure any environment variables or settings required by your application. This might involve setting up a .env file or similar configuration files.

4. Run the Application:

   Start the server:

   npm start

   This will start your Node.js server. Check the scripts section in package.json for any additional commands if required.

Frontend

The static files are located in the public/ directory. If you need to build or process frontend assets, refer to tailwind.config.js for the Tailwind CSS setup.

Usage

• Monitor Alerts: The application provides real-time notifications for earthquake detection. Ensure that the hardware components (sensors, NodeMCU) are correctly configured and connected.
• Integration with Building Dampers: The system can be integrated with building dampers to reduce the impact of earthquakes on structures.

Hardware Setup

• Nano Sensors: Refer to nano.txt for detailed instructions on setting up and configuring the Nano sensors used in this project.
• NodeMCU Integration: Follow the instructions in nodemcu.txt for integrating the NodeMCU with your system to facilitate the earthquake detection mechanism.
