Natural Disaster Warning System

About a year ago, we had a natural disaster in Kumamoto - the 2016 earthquakes. As everyone recalls, on Thursday, April 14th we were hit with what is now called the "foreshock," or the quake before the real earthquake. The real quake hit on Saturday morning of April 16th, and was very large and destructive. It harmed many buildings, shops, and homes, so much so that many had to be torn down. Well, a year later we are re-bounding from the earthquakes of last year. One thing that made the earthquakes so scary is the happened suddenly, as earthquakes normally do. They can't be seen, heard, or tracked. Many times they just simply, hit.

Actually, natural disasters come in all shapes and sizes, and we even had a hint of one yesterday - a typhoon, which was actually quite large. I saw many downed tree branches, fallen bicycles, and knocked over signs on my way to school yesterday. In fact, it was so powerful that morning classes were canceled at most universities in Kumamoto.

With the threat of natural disasters comes the need to somehow be warned of them in advance, if at all possible. Sometimes it is impossible to know of an impending earthquake, but researchers had known about the large fault lines in Kumamoto for many years. Other natural disaster, such as typhoons, are able to be seen and tracked across the ocean sometimes for many days. Hurricanes, or large typhoons, can be seen as well, as can storms, solar flares, approaching asteroids, and the like. Tsunamis can also be seen coming from a long way off, but this may not mean that escaping a tsunami is possible

Is is possible to make a disaster warning system? It must be, for the sake of all humankind. So, your task for this design topic is to create your own natural disaster warning system. First you must decide on what kind of disaster you want to create a warning system for. Then, you must think of all the possible elements that you need to include. For example, you must include a way to warn the entire area, not just one or two places. Then you need to think about how you will warn them, and what steps they need to make in order to escape or to stay where they are safely.
