Good news has arrived on Monday as Ambassador of Israel to Albania, Noah Gal Gendler officially confirmed that a device that tracks earthquakes 8-12 hours in advance will be launched within a year.
Although seismologists have declared that earthquakes are unpredictable, something which Albania earned the hard way, by suffering 51 victims and hundreds of injured because of November 26 earthquake, Ambassador Gal Gendler says Israel has 2 systems, which warn in case of quakes.
Meanwhile, the Israeli company “Ionoterra” came up in the explanation, about which the Ambassador underlined that they think different, that they think outside the usual paradigm.
Subsequently, Gal Gendler noted that if you try to identify earthquakes through seismic movements, you lose 90 percent of the movements noises due to the nature of seismic identifications.
On the other hand, he proclaimed that “Ionoterra” tries to use it through the ionosphere, which is the atmospheric level from 60 kilometers and up, from 60 to a thousand kilometers.
However, Ambassador Gendler marked that they put sensors and radars in places very sensitive to earthquakes, receive the signal constantly to see when there is a change, it signifies danger, but the device’s success is at 91 percent, meaning that more time is needed until reaching full accuracy.
“Instead of trying to identify earthquakes through seismic movements and if you do this, you lose 90 percent of the movements noises due to the nature of seismic identifications. So, they try to use it through the ionosphere, which is the atmospheric level from 60 kilometers upwards, from 60 to a thousand kilometers. What they do is they put sensors and radars in places that are very sensitive to earthquakes and receive the signal constantly and can see whenever there is a change. And change is red alert for you. Its success is 91 percent”, stated Gal Gendler.
