Harnessing AWS for Natural Disaster Early Warning Systems at Scale

Watch this conference talk from AWS re:Invent 2024 exploring how EarthScope revolutionized natural disaster detection by migrating the GNSS component of ShakeAlert, the US earthquake early warning system, to AWS. Dive into the technical implementation of a highly available, low-latency pipeline that processes real-time GNSS data alongside seismological networks. Explore how ShakeAlert leverages managed services and serverless architecture to deliver near real-time, stream-processed alerts to government agencies and automated systems before damaging earthquakes impact populations and infrastructure. Gain practical insights into cloud-native modernization strategies and discover how AWS services enable advanced disaster preparedness systems at scale.
