| Session Description | When a large earthquake occurs, earthquake early warning (EEW) aims to provide timely alerts to populated areas, sensitive facilities, and public transportation. The rapid earthquake information released by EEW system would be invaluable to disaster management and response authorities and to the trained general public. Studies have shown that EEW is a practical, effective approach to real-time seismic risk mitigation. Many counties of Asia and Oceania are situated close to or in the circum-Pacific seismic belt and suffer constant threat of seismic hazards. Therefore, the AOGS members of Japan and Taiwan have been developing EEW since the early to middle Nineties. China, South Korea, and India at present also started developing and building EEW systems. This session will provide a cooperative platform for AOGS members to share the scientific and technical progresses on EEW. This EEW session calls for presentations includes, but not limited to the following subjects: earthquake parameter (magnitude, location) estimation, EEW sensor and network designs, EEW for buildings and the other sensitive constructions, local and regional EEW system test, and use of the EEW information. |
