Scope, rationale, context: general description. Precise here if this technology is currently use (eg. company name or contact info) G-Sense is a rapid damage assessment of buildings based on the new low cost accelerograph that can be installation in different floors of buildings. Just after an earthquake the system automatically estimates the probability of damages for every instrumented building and the damage data are collected in a central C2 s/w where the probable damages are visualized and response is prioritized. Currently deployed in a number of public buildings (schools and hospitals) in Greece Company Contact Info: Dimitris Diagourtas (d.diagourtas@satways.net), Satways Ltd (www.satways.net)
