Using emergency earthquake
information
The emergency earthquake information service notifies all
au phones around the epicenter of Japan Meteorological
Agency's emergency earthquake information.
If you receive emergency earthquake information, consider
surrounding conditions and calmly move to someplace safe.
◎ Emergency earthquake information is sent to areas where strong
quakes (over 4 degrees) are expected during earthquakes
ranging from 5 to 5.5 degrees.
◎ Immediately after an earthquake occurs, quakes (P waves and
initial tremors) near the epicenter are detected and position,
scale, and expected strength are automatically calculated and
notification is sent as soon as possible within a few seconds to
tens of seconds before the strong quakes (S waves and major
tremors) caused by the earthquake start.
◎ Emergency earthquake information may not arrive before strong tremors
in areas near the epicenter.
◎ This service is available only in Japan (it cannot be used overseas).
◎ There is not content or transmission charge for emergency
earthquake information.
◎ KDDI is not liable for damages suffered by customers resulting
from the service's information, lack or delay in the information
caused by transmission or system breakdowns, or other events
that are outside the responsibility of KDDI.
◎ Refer to the Japan Meteorological Agency web page for details
about distribution of emergency earthquake information.
