An early warning system for earthquakes will be built in Nepal, the Institute of Care-Life in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and the Nepal Academy of Science and Technology announced on Tuesday.
The announcement came 100 days after the magnitude-7.8 Nepal earthquake that killed 8,699 people.
"With a cost of $3 million, the system includes 120 early warning sensors, one earthquake early warning center and terminals to receive earthquake early warning messages for schools and communities," said Wang Tun, founder of the Institute of Care-Life, the system's creator.
