Raspberry Shake is great. Back in 2019 USGS conducted test comparison between Raspberry Shake 4D sensors and more costly seismic sensors, and the results are comparable but nor as good [1]. We need more places with seismic sensors to provide more comprehensive data on earthquake and other seismic events. The more sensors we have, the better chance we have monitoring the events, i.e big data seismology [2]. At the moment we have good results for predicting earthquakes (not forecasting) that should be able to warn the residents a few days before the impending major earthquake. Surprisingly, the results are consistent based on offline seismic sensors data of the recent Turkeys, New Zealand, Indonesia and Philippines earthquakes. Hopefully we can reliably repeat the early detection capability with the real-time data, if fundings are available. If anyone know how to approach Japan government (or Turkish, NZ, etc) for funding the system please let me know in the comments. [1]Do low-cost seismographs perform well enough for your network?

Turkey: Not my field but I would approach serious academics first. I know Cenk Yaltirak has a hacker mindset and working on a project to create a sensor network for Istanbul. Prof. Naci Gorur may also help, he's retired but dedicated himself to this issue. ITU Geology, and Kandilli are the two main institutions genuinely working on the expected Istanbul earthquake: https://jeoloji.itu.edu.tr/en/staff/academic-staff https://jeoloji.itu.edu.tr/en/staff/academic-staff http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr/new/en http://www.koeri.boun.edu.tr/new/en

  Thanks for the leads to potential collaborators in Turkey. I've been to ITU once before around ten years ago but not to the Geology Engineering department. If I remember correctly, at the time they're building a new HPC cluster mainly for earthquake forecasting and prediction. Will try to contact them, perhaps next time I go to Istanbul I can pay them and Boğaziçi Kandilli Institute a visit. Also if there's person or company outside academia interested on the research it'll be good because Tübitak has funding for international research and innovation. Perhaps we can have joint industry and academia collaboration to built real-time monitoring systems for testing the new earthquake prediction scheme.

    As per my first post, if you could convince radio amateurs, especially their emergency organizations/sections, to be interested then they might be able to apply leverage through their international organization the IARU which has longstanding representation with the ITU: https://www.iaru.org/ https://www.iaru.org/.
