Taichung City Tanzi strong earthquake early warning system strives for Golden Ten seconds

(Taiwan Business News) the first "on-the-spot strong earthquake real-time warning system" in Taichung City was launched at Xinxing Primary School in Tanzi District yesterday (15). The system is developed by the National earthquake Engineering Research Center and the disaster Prevention and Rescue Science and Technology Center to integrate the earthquake detection technology of the Central Meteorological Bureau and the information of local strong seismographs. It takes 3 years to develop and can automatically send broadcast early warning 10 seconds before the preset earthquake intensity. Strive for precious gold escape seconds to reduce casualties.

In his speech, Vice Mayor Xu said that the 921 earthquake was still frightening, and his home had an area of 5 square meters more because of the dislocation of strata, but he would rather not have the 5 square meters of land.
