Earthquake early warning
1 October 2007, Japan Meteorological Agency started their new service about earthquake. They started Earthquake early warning (緊急地震速報:Kinkyujishinsokuho). Japan Meteorological Agency will warn you about earthquake before it'll happen. But this warning will announce in case of big earthquakes. And this warning will announce you just a few seconds before. I think, this is really nice service because we can run away or stay in safe place before earthquake if we could know this information.
Six month have passed since this service had started. They didn't warn for us because there were no big earthquake until yesterday. But today, they warned for people of Miyako-jima, Okinawa. It was first time to use this service. At 2:32 a.m. Japan Meteorological Agency announced that big earthquake will happen in Miyako-jima soon. But it was too late for them. It's happened 5 seconds before warning. And this was not so big earthquake.
I think, this is very difficult to predict earthquake correctly. But today, Japan Meteorological Agency could predict earthquake. And their predict was nice. So, I would believe their warning when I heard their warning.
Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
