◎
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.
