Sensing Disasters

1. Studies

1.1. 2011, research team began a study of animal behavior in Yanachanga National Park, Cameras followed around 15 animal sightings for about 3 weeks, and in the last few days there were no animal sightings, and in the 24 of august the area was hit with 7.0 earthquake, this was the first time humans documented this movement with cameras.

1.2. In Peru a significant atmospheric change was recorded eight days before the earthquake which made

1.3. Milestone 3

1.3.1. According to studies rats sleeping and walking patterns are disturbed in the days leading up to an earthquake. These changes may alert them to a coming disaster.

1.4. In 2014 a team of U.S scientist inserted a chip on a group of warblers to study their behavior and how they moved, while they were expected to go to Tennessee to raise their young and breed they were seen in Florida and even Cuba, After research, scientist figured that around the time they were going to Tennessee a deadly storm was about to struck in this area causing them to migrate to Florida and Cuba.

2. Elephants Early Warning To Humans With InfraSound -- tsunami early detection

3. Humans

3.1. Scientists have begun to study animals behaviors before a natural disaster to forecast this effectively, and prevent destruction.

3.2. Dr. Rachel Grant says that animals could be reliable forecasters for disasters, and be used in the future. As well it is a more affordable method than the ones we use right now, taking in account cameras.

3.3. Humans can't hear infrasound but birds can.

4. Animals

4.1. "Sixth sense", alerts animals natural hazards.

4.2. Grants theory says that before an earthquake there is big changes in Earths atmosphere and can cause Serotonin levels increased in humans and animals which leads in unpleasant feeling leading animals to move to other zones.

4.3. Rodents appear to be the most sensitive animals in the rain forrest.

4.4. Warblers are alerted by infrasound, a type of frequency produced by the storms.

4.5. Birds are able to prevent severe storms before they arrive.
