Your issues and needs
Although considered as a moderate seismic risk area, mainland France is not immune to earthquakes and the damage they can cause. The scale of the human and economic consequences calls for tools adapted to the operating and monitoring constraints, in order to effectively meet the requirements set out in the prevention and safety plans:
- Receive a quick emergency warning in the event of an earthquake, covered by solid expert knowledge that takes into account the effects of particular sites on the parts of the structures to be monitored;
- Trigger an appropriate response (proportionate inspection) in order to identify actual structural damage to infrastructures and works and so that operations can be resumed under optimal safety conditions;
- Set up an action plan, provide feedback, or even manage an emergency.
