On the Cover…
A simple, colorful informational poster prepared by the Japan Meteorological Agency clearly and succinctly tells people what to do when they hear an Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) alert. Though originally prepared in Japanese (back cover), the message translates well into English (front cover) and other languages (see this page for translations in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish). EEW is the topic of the special section of this issue of Seismological Research Letters that focuses on methodologies and implementation experiences; the first of the special section’s nine articles begins on page 682.
SRL 80:5 features Special Section on Earthquake Early Warning
Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) is the focus of the September/October 2009 issue of Seismological Research Letters (SRL Vol. 80, No. 5), which features a special section on EEW methods and implementations being used now in the United States, Mexico, Turkey, Japan, Taiwan, and other locations worldwide. The issue’s cover features a simple and colorful poster that tells people what to do when they hear an EEW alert in English on the front, in Japanese on the back. Translations into other languages are available here.
