[ENG SUB] How Earthquake Early Warning works : smartphone and radio broadcast

Osaka earthquake struck in northern Osaka area, Japan on 18 June 2018.
This dashcam video was recorded in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Pref, 30 kilometers away from epicenter.
Smartphone beeped several times, and told "an earthquake has just occurred" in female voice. One second later than the first beep, Earthquake Early Warning was broadcasted on radio in male voice with chimes.

[@intheory4652]

With a large network of sensors spread all over the place, not only are people alerted at the same time, but scientists can track the progress in real time and hopefully someday learn the truth about what triggers KZbin Recommendations.

I live in Japan so I can tell you that small earthquakes, like this, are barely noticeable when you're on the move. Much less so for the elderly. But when you're stationary on ground level, then you can feel it (and feels much more powerful when you're in a multi-story building). I remember chilling in my 2nd floor, 60-yr old dormitory when the March 11 earthquake happened back in 2011. Felt like the whole building was going to collapse even though I was in Tokyo (which was super far from the epicenter compared to the areas hit by the proceeding tsunamis).

[@Tidestrider]

It's insane that you had that much warning 30km away from the epicenter. Earthquakes travel insanely fast and it the message was able to be transmitted even quicker

[@GCAT01Living]

It helps there are two types of waves when an earthquake happens. P waves are weaker and travel faster, these are what triggers the alarms. The S waves are slower and are the ones we actually feel. Because they are slower, they arrive after the alarm has gone off.

[@Tidestrider]

​@@GCAT01Living Very true. There is less distance between the P and S waves closer to the epicenter as they are both released at the same time and the difference is more visible at greater distances. It just goes to show how impressive and efficient this technology is and I'm glad to see the United States beginning to implement the same kinds of stuff.

Did you know that the Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia is the mastermind behind the tragedy of major natural disasters that befell other countries, all of which are recorded internationally, namely: 1). The eruption of Mount Toba. (UNESCO). 2). The eruption of Mount Tambora. 3). The eruption of Mount Krakatoa. 4). The eruption of Mount Samalas. 5). 2004 Tsunami Aceh (The 2004 tsunami started in Aceh Indonesia and then spread to many countries. Thailand, India, Sri Lanka. The incident was more devastating in Indonesia because it started there and destroyed many areas in other countries). 6). Flash floods in Indonesia (Timor Leste was also hit). 7). And many others. You can see on Wikipedia about natural disasters in Indonesia. (Natural disasters in Indonesia are much crazier). Indonesia has a special title as the number 1 country with the most recorded natural disasters and has never shifted its position to date. Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia is indeed very different from other countries, known as the most beautiful but also the deadliest. Actually, it was not Japan, Chile, the Philippines, US, and Italy that experienced the worst natural disasters, but Indonesia. Because natural disasters in Indonesia are categorized as the deadliest, most brutal and most frequent. Even Indonesia is called a mass grave with a very large number of victims. I know that throughout 2021 in Indonesia there have been more than 1800 natural disasters. Meanwhile, in 2020, more than 2000 natural disasters occurred in Indonesia. It's no secret that Indonesia holds the highest ranking even number 1 in the world and is the most brutal in natural disasters. There is no Queen Mother Earth in other countries that replaces the position of Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia. If you look closely, the maps of the islands in Indonesia are far from each other. Unlike the islands in the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand and the Maldives which are close together. This indicates that the rampage of the Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia is so powerful that it can even split the mainland between the islands of Sumatra and Java. That's so crazy. Closing sentence : She is the most beautiful, she is the most unique, she is the strangest but she is also the most deadly, namely the Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia. (Indonesia is the throne of Queen Mother Earth).

The earthquake began as soon as the warning started. Japan is PUNCTUAL!

[@togetherwevlog5]

For those who think this is useless, it is not. Sometimes, people are in the middle of deep sleep or in a location where tremors are not yet felt, it helps to have this warning to be informed of the situation where others are concerned. My fellow Filipinos are laughing at our current notification system but most of the time, it works efficiently during a disaster. I used to live in another country where an earthquake occured and not one of my Chinese housemates woke me up during an earthquake and no alarm systems either, I was so tired and in deep sleep. Imagine my surprise when I found out the next day. People just love to ridicule things they know nothing about.

[@johndotto2773]

Also, in places where earthquakes are rare, some people might think the shaking is from an explosion or a terrorist attack, like what happened in Virginia in 2011, where a 5.8 earthqiake was felt as south as North Carolina, and as far north as New York City, and yes, people thought of 9/11 when the earth shook there. I think the Android Earthquake Alerts System should also work there, so people's nerves would calm much more quickly.

[@johndotto2773]

The reason why East Coast earthquakes are felt in a much wider area than in the West, is while the West is more fractured when it comes to its seismic boundaries, sitting at the boundary of the Pacific and Juan de Fueca, and North American Plates, the East is mostly sitting in quite a solid and thick part within the latter plate.

This video is 2 years old but the comments are from like 5 mins ago😂 youtube recommendations man😭

[@falcy2889]

because you have it set for newest first

[@mitigamespro8757]

Dániel Jaksi not the point buddy

[@breezyyy4738]

Dániel Jaksi i dont but sure

[@raintailbro9579]

it’s kinda shocking how quick the reaction time was for the warning, it had barely started shaking and alarms were already going off

[@jaycee330]

They were probably close to the epicentre.

[@SiodogRehane]

Is even quicker when you realize it the information center gets it seconds before but it takes a little to reach service

[@gnar1yw]

There’s a literal earthquake happening and that dude is just biking like nothing is happening

[@toddhowardfr]

its clearly not happening there yet, its a warning for you to get somewhere safe before shit starts getting down

[@28crane]

I believe the quake is already started.. The cables are shaking

[@toddhowardfr]

wind

[@gnar1yw]

But it didn’t happen before the alarms but I think your right that it hasent completely started also even if it’s just a warning I wouldn’t be calm

[@fudgeee]

meanwhile in our country: *sometimes we get those alerts hours after* *most of the times we don't*

[@KnittingPasta]

Dutchsinse (KZbin) is surprisingly good at predicting them days ahead of time. It’s downright fishy that the USGS won’t test his theories.

[@fudgeee]

but it would be actually boring to watch Dutchsinse predict it for hours just so that you can be aware, unless you're well interested on the field and has a lot of free time the whole day.

[@vaultboi76]

My number one fear when I end up in Japan for a vacation is to be in the shower when suddenly that alert blasts through the tv or phone speaker. Idk why but it horrifies me lol

[@witchking008]

U dont like it? Ur like let the earth tremble with fear and howl in despair for i have step at Japan

[@mehmetylmaz9484]

That is not that much bad If you are in Japan during earthquake There are plenty of countries who have not study engineering enough Earthquake doesnt kill Buildings kill

[@Kevin-uc3ir]

In Japan, Earthquake is like that Surprise Rain on a Summer day.Halts things for few minutes, but life goes on.

[@way0leto]

I was in Japan watching Shin Chan (my favourite cartoon) on TV.. then something appear on TV.. alerting something in Japanese.. i felt a little shaking.. i realized it was earthquake.. Me then look outside the window.. people walking on the street like normal.. i was panic because that was my first time feeling earthquake.. haha.. then i went down and talk with the guy at the hotel counter. He said... nothing to be afraid of.. as it is only a small one.. so no worries.. Japan building is strong.. being built taking into consideration of the earthquake.. i was.. amazed.... heee

[@theskiesahead795]

considering japan is located on the literal fault of line of two tectonic plates, earthquakes are pretty commonplace and so they built accordingly

[@shirayukihime7384]

You type...like me

[@mrmigl9044]

Nobody: KZbin: you're all probably wondering why I gathered you here today

[@AGLIBABY]

THEM : DONT Panic ME : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnbIeaeNpryegsk 👻👻👻👻👻👻💨💨💨💨💣💣💣

[@nico-kb5sh]

Come on youtube, this was 2 years ago and there's comments from 5 minutes ago

[@adrilo784]

Yeah and you 1 minute

[@ImmVisions]

Adrilo ur 30 sec

[@rewindd]

Telling people to stay calm and not panic seems like it would make ppl panic.

[@isnitjustkit]

The cyclists continuing like nothing happened is the funniest thing

[@elevator_satellite]

It’s Japan, what do you expect?

[@badboydrd]

Whenever there’s a natural disaster in the world, I always look to Japan to see how they’ve handled it. Typhoons, earthquakes, nuclear disasters, you name it. They’ve recovered and thrived!

[@auctal4625]

Not to mention human caused like Nuclear bombs

[@elizatotty4295]

Fukushima says otherwise but okay

[@travelleryu]

Not to mention Hiroshima and Nagasaki

[@mr.norris3840]

Germany is like: Best I can give you are WW2 sirens, but we don’t use them, because they might not work, and we wont check if they work.

[@dasodin9997]

💯💯💯

[@JB-cw2sz]

Look at the people walking calm outside

[@maroonknight]

Well it's japan though they used to it.

[@jejee413]

Everyday's life.

[@armsid]

Tru tru and omg that pfp... I still can’t get over that MV... it was immaculate ✨

[@_Aniket_]

In my country the alert comes after the earthquake 😐

[@V1NYL]

It's probably came after earthquake in the epicenter. But only seconds after

[@shubham_the__legend]

India 😂

[@piyushpatil8934]

0:22 the cyclist on the left not giving a fuck to the natural calamity

[@ChilloutLibrary]

He probably doesn't have a radio fitted in his cycle 😉

[@noah321]

I honestly find it so cool how it can trigger the warning just as the earthquake hits, no need for any manual alert to be sent or anything.

[@Amby_.0_0._]

Why are so many comments fresh? I searched for this, but you guys got it recommended or something?

[@zony409]

Yeah it was in my recommendations lol

[@hilnnerfarias913]

Recommended, I don't know why though.

[@namjoonsbrain3608]

Recommend by KZbin, I think it’s trying to tell us something

[@mi-y]

Yeah recommended
