◎ Reception of Emergency early warning mail is notified by a special
warning tone. It is not possible to change the warning tone.
◎ Emergency earthquake information is sent to areas where strong
quakes (over 4 degrees) are expected when the earthquake whose
the maximum seismic intensity 5 lower is anticipated occurs.
◎ 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 arrears near the epicenter.
◎ Tsunami warning is a notification delivered from the meteorological
bureau (major tidal wave, seismic sea wave) to the area including
target coast.
◎ Disaster evacuation information is a service that distributes
bulletins concerning residents' safety including evacuation
advisories, evacuation orders and other warnings issued by the
national and local governments.
◎ The service is available only in Japan (it cannot be used overseas).
