Our citizen seismology project in Haiti is based on the idea that seismic networks are not only made up of sensors but also of the people who gravitate around them, in particular the people who host the seismometers and the researchers who use the data, but also ultimately the general public, in particular the communities that surround the seismometer hosts.
