Capability for Earthquake Monitoring

・For the old network it takes at least 20 minutes to For the old network it takes at least 20 minutes to know the location of epicenter and size of magnitudeknow the location of epicenter and size of magnitude

・After improving the new network (After improving the new network (PhaseIPhaseIand II) and II) during 2005during 2005-2008, It is expected that less than 5-10 minutes to complete the preliminary determination of earthquake epicenter and magnitude

*That would be better for Tsunami Early Warning*
