Send Node-RED alerts to IoT devices when an earthquake is detected

[johnwalicki]

The first example in this repo listens for shaking from all the OpenEEW sensors in the EEW network. If a possible earthquake is detected it sends an alert via Twilio / SMS. That's a good first technique but there are many other ways to alert the community that an earthquake is potentially headed toward them.

The Node-RED flow could publish a MQTT message to other low cost IoT devices that can't hand the high volume sensor analysis. Blink an Alert light, sound a siren, push notification to mobile devices.

Maybe automation could stop an elevator, shut off a gas value, slow a train.

This ticket is asking for help in implementing a variety of these Node-RED alerts and also the IoT devices that could react to earthquakes.

@johnwalicki I believe this can be closed?

Maybe we could use this technique to bridge between existing Grillo sensors and the new OoenEEW sensors ( within the Mexico regional network )

Not certain if there is a cost associated with the high frequency AWS mqtt feeds from all of the existing sensors.
