In one aspect, a method and an associated apparatus includes multiple electronic data recorders (EDRs), at least one sensor configured to generate a signal in response to detecting that a sensor measurement exceeds a preset threshold, a cannister including expanding foam, and circuitry in communication with the at least one sensor and the cannister. In response receiving the signal, the circuit is configured to cause the cannister to dispense the expanding foam to envelop at least one of the multiple EDRs. The EDR maybe one of multiple EDRs on a vehicle.
