By the end of this year, China's EEWS will be fully functional.
Algorithms quickly find out the earthquake's location and magnitude. The data processing centers in turn quickly send alerts across cities and towns that a tremor is on its way. This gives people crucial seconds to prepare because every second matters during an earthquake.
If the recent Syria-Turkey earthquakes have taught us anything, it is that we need a global EEWS. The combined death toll of the disaster stands at around 60,000, with over 120,000 injured.Global Times Wang, who has helped develop EEWS in China, said, “With an early warning of several seconds to 60 seconds, the death toll in an earthquake can be reduced by 30 percent.”
