This article presents the main development components Early Earthquake Warning and Evacuation System (EEWES) for the Ranau District of Sabah. Many early earthquake warning systems have been developed since the last major earthquake in Ranau in 2015, but none has appropriately investigated the school children evacuation processes/exercises. The system was developed not just to expedite the evacuation process at these schools but also to help evacuate the school children and to get in touch with the children’s parents who are outstation. Those parents will be updated on the evacuation initiative that is taking place on a real-time basis. The system may also transfer the evacuation details to the local and federal emergency services and other agencies concerned with the evacuation exercises. The system mainly utilised the APIs released by regional disaster centres, which may deliver speedy transmission alerts. The future research direction is to incorporate the local tremor sensor details into the system.

A seismic event is unpredictable and may occur worldwide depending on the movement of the fault line. The impact of this phenomenon on society, structures, sources and surroundings is significant to be investigated. Thus, this study aims to investigate the seismic awareness level and input information among Malaysians. Several far-field seismic activities in Malaysia have triggered some high-rise buildings, including residential and commercial ones. Due to this situation, the occupants started to worry about their safety living in high-rise buildings designed without seismic considerations. The most important initial step is to investigate the awareness level among the occupants. A survey has been conducted in Georgetown, Pulau Pinang area involving 208 respondents. Findings indicate the respondents have limited experience with seismic events in Malaysia and were never exposed to seismic information. Less than 50% declared to have adequate knowledge about seismic. Only 31.25% of the respondents were exposed to the seismic information. Respondents agree that Malaysia should apply a seismic code of practice for all construction buildings. Most respondents believe that preparation for upcoming seismic activities is still insufficient, and all new buildings should have seismic safety certificates in the future for seismic resistance.
