Earthquake alert

With earthquakes becoming more frequent, early warning information can guide damage-mitigating actions. With Japan being a land of frequent quakes, Fujitsu has been spurred on to develop an anti-earthquake strategy for maintaining business continuity. The system uses pop-up clients on the PC to alert the user of a pending quake. Tied to a meteorological agency, the system is able to calculate and display the expected arrival time of secondary waves at each affected site and the Richter Scale. In addition, any Microsoft Office files that are open are automatically saved while the computers are shut down prior to the quake.
