the earthquake whose the maximum seismic intensity
5 lower is anticipated occurs.
• Immediately after an earthquake occurs, quakes
(P waves and initial tremors) near the epicenter are
detected and position, scale, and expected strength
are automatically calculated and notification is sent
as soon as possible within a few seconds to tens of
seconds before the strong quakes (S waves and major
tremors) caused by the earthquake start.
• Earthquake Early Warning may not arrive before strong
tremors in arrears near the epicenter.
• Tsunami Warning is a notification delivered from the
meteorological bureau (major tidal wave, seismic sea
wave) to the area including target coast.

distributes bulletins concerning residents' safety
including evacuation advisories, evacuation orders
and other warnings issued by the national and local
governments.
