00:00 Students from San Fernando, Pampanga were honored with their device
00:05 which not only helps in measuring the strength of the earthquake,
00:09 but also helps in the rescue operations.
00:13 Watch this on Katrina Sun's report.
00:15 The terrifying aspect of the earthquake is that it's just a feeling.
00:26 That's why the first goal is to survive.
00:28 Hey guys, don't panic!
00:30 The group of students from the Information and Communication Technology High School
00:38 of San Fernando, Pampanga,
00:40 is far from being able to help.
00:42 They used an earthquake sensory device, the SafeQuake.
00:46 When it vibrates, the buzzer will sound.
00:51 And it will measure the intensity of the vibration.
00:57 It can also be connected to any smartphone
01:00 where you can put your contact number and other details.
01:04 It will alarm the user or the emergency contact number.
01:09 At the same time, it's also a rescue beacon
01:11 because it sends the rescue effort to the victims of the earthquakes.
01:14 Through the antenna,
01:16 the device can send signal messages to local government units.
01:23 There's a red button that you can press if you're in a place that's shaking.
01:27 There's a blue button to let you know that you're safe.
01:30 Once the user is alerted,
01:32 they are given a minute and 30 seconds
01:34 to confirm that they are safe using the blue button.
01:37 If they are not confirmed safe,
01:39 the device will automatically send an emergency message to local government units.
01:44 To make it more effective,
01:47 the SafeQuake device must be placed on the wall
01:50 or in a place where it can't move.
01:53 Hopefully, it will help not only the Philippines,
01:56 but also the international community.
01:59 This year, March, they started the BoE.
02:02 The group's goal is for every LGU to have a SafeQuake device.
02:07 Because of this innovation,
02:08 students from different countries
02:11 have different names in and outside the country.
02:14 Keep on researching.
02:15 In whatever state you are in,
02:18 you can easily invent new products.
