The house of the woman in the video is not destroyed in the 7.4 magnitude earthquake, but it may be destroyed The system developed against a stronger shock looks really great. About the system, which has been in use for many years, Japan International Cooperation Agency Senior Advisor Dr. Hitoshi Baba said: conveys: “Providing warning before strong tremors strike, the system helps reduce earthquake-related damage by giving people a few precious seconds to protect themselves, allowing trains to slow down and factory lines to be checked before tremors begin. The well-known Earthquake Early Warnings (EEW) system is certainly the best practice in Japan in the process. Earthquake Early Warnings (EEW) is the result of the achievements in technological developments of the National Research Institute of Earth Sciences and Disaster Prevention, together with the joint technological development of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Railway Technical Research Institute. “Since October 1, 2007, this service has been operational across Japan via multiple devices, providing warnings before strong tremors arrive.”
