摘要: 地震预警是快速检测正在发生的地震并向身处潜在危险地区的人群和基础设施发出警报。日本和墨西哥目前正在运行公共地震预警系统,而土耳其、中国台湾、中国大陆、罗马尼亚和美国仅运行面向特殊用户发布警报的小规模地震预警系统。地震预警预报能在强烈地震动到达前数秒至数分间发布,世界地震预警应用实例表明,利用这段预警时间能够减轻地震对社会多方面的影响。人们可以利用预警时间采取蹲下-掩护-抓住的处置策略减少伤亡,甚至在预警时间足够的情况下,撤离有风险的建筑物。利用警报时间还可以降低列车脱轨风险、限制化学反应、保护医院患者、预防火灾;保护危险环境下的工人,免受坠落物砸伤/被夹伤。本文不能详尽地列出美国地震预警系统的应用实例和减灾收益,但收益明显大于成本。拯救3人生命、2个半导体工厂收到警报、1列旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)的列车减速、非致命受伤率降低1%和燃气火灾率降低0.25%,上述任一项因减灾避免的损失价值都足够维持整个美国西海岸的预警系统运行一年。地震预警同时能够减少50%以上的在地震中受伤的人数。
