Seismic Warning Systems, a California-based earthquake early warning company is in the spotlight after the Japan earthquake. The company approaches earthquake detection differently.

Meanwhile, Japan was a world pioneer in an early earthquake detection system. “We have 1,000 stations around the Western US,” Jones says. “We need more like 2,000 or 3,000.” ...

It works in a similar way to Japan’s early warning system, however. ShakeAlert is building a network of almost 1,700 stations and is 90 percent of the way there, according to de Groot.
