Could humans implant electromagnetic sensors to be used as receivers for detection of natural disaster? 

It is very likely (over 95% probable) that humans have contributed to climate change and global warming since the early 20th century by increasing the levels of carbon dioxide and other manufactured emissions present in the atmosphere.[1]

The changes in our atmosphere correlate with changes in the earths "system" (the connectivity between global elements such as ice caps, oceans, and the earth's crust), which in turn will affect natural disasters on a global scale.[2] With all of these changes, how can humans be readily prepared for natural disaster before it's too late? Yes, we can rely on scientists and government to predict and alert, but would it be more efficient to tap into an alternative form of "notification"?

If the natural disaster one needs to predict, for example, is an earthquake, the solution could come from synching electromagnetic sensors with our central nervous system to detect vibrations below the earth's surface thus allows us to prepare for a potentially catastrophic event. These sensors are a vital component of the seismograph, defined as "an instrument that measures and records details of earthquakes, such as force and duration"[3] and the coupling of existing seismic sensors and implanted electromagnetic could result in widespread awareness and fewer casualties. 

Natural disaster isn't the only application for this kind of bio-mod; explosions, tsunamis and avalanches could trigger the implanted sensor, and based on the intensity felt, notify individuals within the proximity.

Our body is comprised of electricity and magnetic energy, which control our bodily functions[4] therefore implanted electromagnetic sensors would need to be regulated in order to not interfere or overwhelm our systems. It would potentially be the most efficient if the sensor would pick up on signals and then mediate the sensation into a form of stimulation that could trigger our brain and not complicate our existing electric energy. In theory, this kind of sensation would trigger our senses in a in unique ways, allowing for enhanced communication before natural disaster strikes.
