APEC Workshop on Application of Big Data and Open Data@Taipei Garden Hotel (2015/10/29-30) apanese Nationwide Earthquake and Tsunami Observation Network Operated by NIED Shin Aoi National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention
Impact of the 1995 Kobe Earthquake Research for Earthquake Prediction (1960 s~) The Kobe (Hyogoken-Nanbu) Earthquake (Mw 6.9) attacked the metropolitan area in western Japan on 17 January 1995. More than 6,000 people were killed by this earthquake. Special Measure Law on Earthquake Disaster Prevention was enacted and The Headquarters of Earthquake Research Promotion was established to promote earthquake research with the goal of the reduction of damage and casualties from earthquakes. Fundamental surveys and observation for earthquake researches started as a governmental policy. 2

Area early warning method using real-time seismic intensity [Goal] Predict the warning areas whose seismic intensity will exceed threshold using real time information. [Warning areas] Whole Japan is divided into 188 areas. [Algorithm] * When one of the station located in the area observe realtime intensity larger than threshold: the area is deem to be warning area. * When one of the station located in the area observe realtime intensity larger than sub threshold (which is smaller than threshold): the area is assumed to be warning area. * The area adjacent to the threshold exceeded area is also assumed to be warning area.

Summary After the 1995 Kobe earthquake, NIED has constructed and operated dense seismograph networks covered with Japan island. After the 2011 Tohoku earthquake, NIED is constructing S-net (Seafloor observation Network for Earthquakes and Tsunamis along the japan trench) that covers wide area of Japan Trench from Kanto to Hokkaido. All these huge data is freely available. Huge amount of real-time data from dense network are expected to directly contribute to the mitigation of ongoing earthquake disasters. - Earthquake Early Warning - Kyoshin monitor - Direct detection of huge earthquake - Area early warning method - Real-time earthquake damage estimation (J-RISQ) Prompt processing of big data is key technology. - data transmission, processing, visualization Sensor network + cloud system 16
