Many newer laptops, like those from Apple and Lenovo, come equipped with accelerometers, which are motion sensors, to detect when a unit has been dropped and brace hardware for impact.<\/p>\n<p>By adding seismograph software to a computer with an accelerometer, such as the Quake-Catcher Network developed by Stanford University, users can collect vibration data and send it to a world-wide database of other users to help detect earthquakes more quickly in areas without professional-grade seismometers.  Information on this software can be found at <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.aroundfortwayne.com\/main\/weblinksmenu\/78-special\/351-quake-catcher-network\">https:\/\/qcn.stanford.edu\/<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>If your laptop or computer does not come equipped with an accelerometer, a USB-connected accelerometer can be used to provide the same ability to use seismograph software.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about earthquake preparedness, visit the IDHS preparedness page at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.in.gov\/dhs\/get-prepared\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.in.gov\/dhs\/getprepared<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security: Laptops may assist in detecting earthquake vibrations Related Images:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1910],"tags":[1140],"class_list":["post-16343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-indiana-state-government","tag-indiana-department-of-homeland-security"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
