EQRNet is CSI's new generation EQResponse solution.

**![eqrnet eqresponse](https://csi.net.nz/images/eqrnet/eqrnet%20eqresponse.png)Our response to the lessons of the Canterbury, Seddon and Kaikoura earthquakes, EQRNet improves post-quake decisions by giving a detailed picture of building-by-building earthquake shaking.**  

EQRNet consists of over 100 ground shaking measurement points in the city and a processing system that **instantly compares every building's design limits to the shaking beneath it.** Critical buildings have additional sensors to measure how the structure responds to the ground shaking. Results are sent **immediately to the building manager's phone**, and to the structural engineer and **city-wide data is instantly available for emergency management teams.**  Public data lets individuals to **manage their own personal earthquake response.**

For any earthquake, big or small, **evidence-based decisions deliver best-practice Health and Safety, reduce business interruption and accelerate economic recovery**. EQRNet** benefits any person or organisation who must make critical safety and commercial decisions after a quake**. EQRNet is a commercial service but has a **strong public good component.**

**CSI is proud to rolling out EQRNet with the help and support of the Christchurch City Council Smart Cities Programme.**
