IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE DISASTER WARNING NETWORK
The Disaster Warning Network combines detection, analysis, and
warning technologies into an "information delivery system" that
provides a maximum number of people a maximum amount of early warning
time through a maximum number of warning devices.
The
Disaster Warning Network is a real time
early warning communication system for disasters as they are
actually occurring along the surface of the earth. The Disaster
Warning Network will NOT predict disasters, it will NOT prevent
disasters, and it will NOT lessen the magnitude or frequency of
disasters.
The Disaster Warning Network will greatly reduce the number of
deaths, injuries, and property damages due to disasters. It
will NOT eliminate them. The Disaster Warning Network will operate
on the principle that a few minutes or even a few seconds of early
warning in advance of a disaster can be utilized wisely and effectively
by most people to help them avoid or mitigate the effects of these
disasters.
The
Disaster Warning Network will
direct early warnings to only those
specific areas that are expected to be impacted by a disaster that
is actually occurring. It will NOT "Broadcast" warnings to
large geographic areas and cause false alarms to those not in danger
and create low confidence levels in the accuracy of warnings.
The Disaster Warning Network will send its signals through a
wide variety of commonly used electronic devices embedded with microprocessor
receiver/controllers to provide early warnings that will allow both
human and automated responses during natural disasters. Decades
old technology of siren and radio/TV alerts do not adequately reach
most who really need early warnings.
The Disaster Warning Network will operate on the principle that
all disasters travel along the surface of the earth at relatively
slows speeds compared to the transmission speed of an electronic
warning signal (light speed). Real time Detection, Analysis, and
light speed Warnings will provide a maximum of warning time in advance
of disasters.
The Disaster Warning Network will utilize existing technologies
and will not require any new science to be developed.
