Since 2017, WIHG is regularly conducting an outreach program titled
“Education and awareness program for earthquake preparedness and
hazard mitigation: Uttarakhand”. In this program, the Institute’s
scientists visit various schools, organizations and villages to deliver
lectures on safety and prevention measures to be taken before, during
and after an earthquake (Fig.20). To make the lecture more effective an
earthquake recording system is also demonstrated exhibiting real-time
recording by the seismograph.
