Uttarakhand

On July 2015 Uttarakhand became first Indian state to install earth quake warning system. Installation was in the city called Dehradun which can issue warnings 1-40 seconds before earthquakes of magnitude 5 or more. The second system will be established at Pithoragarh in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand.

System Designer and Manufacturer: Space Dynamics, an Italian firm

According to the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Uttarakhand falls under seismic zone V i.e. High-Risk Seismic Zone. Apart from it, Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Rann of Kutch (Gujarat), Northern Bihar and Andaman & Nicobar Islands also fall under this seismic zone.
