Is sensing and alerting at the time of arrival of P wave is useful ?
I have designed an earthquake alarm in the year 2001 itself. This instrument together with my knowledge on seismology helped me to issue the warning much before Tsunami attack our Indian coast. Now the opinion differ from person to person that somebody agrees this instrument is useful to save the life. Some other scientists refuse to accept the concept of sensing and alerting at the stage of arrival of P wave. Californian Governor for safety studied about the warning systems and came with their finding even a ten seconds warning is helpful. What is correct? My instrument has proved its capability on five occasions that was compared with the records available with our meteorological department.

It only creates panic! That is my opinion. Very few people can control themselvs and do the right thing. I think i cold... based on what i have learned about earthquakes... but i am not certain that i will not do a foolish thing like trying to come down some stairs when there's no time...
If a curs wold came with the device it wold have a chance.
..but still my opinion is that most people are not ready for it and it wold make more harm then good.
I hope i am wrong...

i am satisfied with the instrument, but still that has not issued any warning/alert, and still no earthquake has taken place in kashmir. however, on 22-6-07 at 12.0AM earthquake took place but that instrument was not fitted to wall due to some reasons. i am watching the instrument whenever it will alert i will inform you.
