S-wave Alarm
There are two kinds of the earthquake alarm. One is “On-site Alarm” which is the alarm based on the
the objects to be warned. The other is “Front Alarm” which is the alarm based on the observation near the epicentral area to warn for the possible damaged area. For each, there are more two kinds of alarm. One is so-called “S-wave Alarm” or “Triggered Alarm”. And the
We have developed a prototype system for EEW as UrEDAS in early 1980’s.

UrEDAS, Urgent Earthquake Detection and Alarm System, is the first real time P-wave alarm system over the world in practical use in 1992 for Tokaido Shinkansen. It is characterized to be able to process digitized waveform step by step without storing waveform. Amount of procedure is not differ from each other either earthquake occurs or not, so it expected not to be occurred the system down due to the over load. UrEDAS is able to use not only for the On-site alarm but also for the Front alarm.
Introduction of UrEDAS

There are two types of UrEDAS; “UrEDAS” and “Compact UrEDAS”. Function of the UrEDAS (1985) is to estimate the magnitude and the location of detected earthquake in three seconds after initial P-wave detection and issuing the alarm for expected damage area. On the other hand, Compact UrEDAS (1998) can evaluate whether the earthquake will be destructive or not using Destructive Intensity DI and issues alarm one second after P-wave detection if needed.

The UrEDAS Technique for Estimation Methods of Location, Depth and Magnitude using a Single Station Data in Realtime
The development of UrEDAS had been almost completed in the middle of 1980’s. UrEDAS realized realtime independent process. Although the JMA system intermittingly processes with several seconds, UrEDAS processes in every sampling time. Warning time
seconds, but we have found the time is able to set one second without problems at least for M7 class earthquake. For New generation of UrEDAS, FREQL, the warning time is set to one

Time
Motivation of Compact UrEDAS development is the Kobe Earthquake. On the VTR, they noticed the initial P wave motion as something happen, and then the severe motion attacked them after a few seconds. Although there was only a few seconds between something happen and recognition of earthquake, it was anxiousness and fearful because they could not understand what happened and felt relieved after recognition of the earthquake occurrence. As the counter
the Compact UrEDAS to make the alarm within one second after P wave arrival.

FREQL is toward to the new field, as for the Hyper Rescue Team in the risk of aftershocks
Hyper rescue team acts in a risk of large after shocks. After the Niigataken Chuetsu Earthquake, the hyper rescue team approached us to adopt FREQL as a support system for the rescue activity. Tokyo fire department and
wide have adopted the portable FREQL as an equipment to keep the safety against the risk
by aftershocks during their rescue activity, not only in Japan but also in Pakistan and China.

EEW by JMA arrived in almost same time of S- wave arrival On-site FREQL information arrived over 10s before the S-wave arrival Even for a distant earthquake EEW by JMA can be later than On-site FREQL up to 10s
The EEW by JMA always arrives after strong motion in damaged area. We would like to request to JMA to provide exact and accurate information just after the Earthquake instead of late EEW.

What kind of information is required for earthquake disaster mitigation?
JMA restricts providing the earthquake information by unnecessary lows since December 2007. But what truly important for EEW is to develop the “grass roots“ network to build awareness to keep safety by ourselves. Public authorities with dense observation network are expected to provide the exact and precise earthquake information immediately after the event. JMA must abolish the restriction not only for the earthquake information but also for the tsunami warning.

# According to the recent earthquakes of M7 class, the epicentral region is almost completely damaged. For the epicentral area, the EEW by JMA cannot be issued before the beginning of the strong motion; only the On-site P wave alarm is valid for surviving. # The nationwide system is not necessary to realize the On-site P wave alarm, and it is better to utilize the “grass root” network by each facilities. # In the complete damaged area, task forces are required from the outside
the complete damaged area is, exact information of the earthquake include the aftershocks are required. # Not only JMA but also the regional universities or NIED, having dense
# JMA should not restrict issuing the information by these organizations. # According to this information, the task force should concentrate to the complete damaged area for quick rescue activities in several tens minutes.
