Earthquake Early Warning
◎
Earthquake Early Warning notifies areas where a strong shaking (Japan
seismic scale 4 or more) is expected when an earthquake whose
maximum Japan seismic scale is predicted of 5-lower or more has been
detected.
◎
This service detects an earthquake (P-wave, preliminary tremors) near
the seismic center immediately after the earthquake occurs and
automatically calculates its location, scale and predicted strength of the
shaking. After that, you will be notified of the earthquake as soon as
possible within a few seconds to dozens of seconds before a strong
shaking from the earthquake (S-wave, principal shock) occurs.
◎
In the vicinity of the seismic center, a strong shaking may reach you
before Earthquake Early Warning.
◎
The Earthquake Early Warning distribution system provided by this
service is different from that provided by TV, radio and other
communication media and thus the arriving time of Earthquake Early
Warning may be different among those media.
Tsunami Warning
◎
Tsunami Warning notifies areas including target sea coasts of Major
Tsunami Warning and Tsunami Warning provided by the Japan
Meteorological Agency.
Disaster and Evacuation Information
◎
Disaster and Evacuation Information notifies information related to the
safety of citizens, such as evacuation advisories, evacuation orders or
various alarms delivered by the national government or the local
governments.
