Japanese earthquake power , but the Japanese media's response to earthquakes is surprisingly fast! If you watch Japanese TV station , you may have encountered unexpected earthquakes on the screen, and the scene with zero time difference in the news is very impressive. How did the Japanese media do it? This article will decipher the complete information system that was established behind Japan in response to emergency natural disasters!
▋ Information is fast and accurate! Revealing the earthquake notification operation of "Japanese TV Media"
① Japanese TV stations have two types of emergency broadcast warnings
Japanese TV stations have two sets of emergency broadcast warnings in response to natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Take NHK as an example: the " emergency earthquake speed report " in the form of the upper marquee lantern that you often see will first issue a "bin collapse" warning. According to Article 108 of the Japan Broadcasting Law, when the Meteorological Bureau predicts that an earthquake with a quake of 5 or above will be broadcasted for areas with a quake of 4 or above. This quick report notification is connected to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Within 2 minutes after the Meteorological Agency issues the notice, the TV station and the radio station will broadcast it simultaneously; the highest level of emergency is " emergency alarm broadcast ". When the Meteorological Agency issues tsunami alarms and tsunami alarms, the TV station will play a "Dululululu" alarm sound like a fax machine, calling on the people to take refuge.
"Emergency Earthquake Speed Report" will not interrupt the currently aired programs, and will only broadcast
☞ Tips
According to the official website of the Japan Meteorological Agency, if a large earthquake occurs, there will be major events such as tsunamis, the Meteorological Agency must issue a "tsunami warning" and " tsunami alarm" within 3 minutes after the earthquake. In addition, information on possible locations, expected arrival time of tsunami, and altitude of tsunami are also required.
② The TV broadcasting style has changed greatly
The Toyo Economic Column pointed out that before the 311 East Japan earthquake, the broadcasting styles of the anchors of various TV stations were just repeating the objective information such as the quake, the source of the earthquake, whether there is a tsunami released by the Meteorological Bureau. However, because it is like a robot without emotion, it cannot convey a sense of crisis.
It is reported that the emergency broadcast of the 311 earthquake was 30 minutes before the tsunami hit, which made the TV station deeply reflect: If the sense of crisis was strengthened a little more, would have a chance to save more lives? Therefore, NHK TV station set a precedent and took the lead in changing the broadcast method: using L-shaped information strips, huge "tsunami! Refuge!" and other warning slogans, combined with the anchor's promotion of ", please escape quickly! Protecting your own lives first! ", and other emotional appeals have gradually become the mainstream broadcast style of Japanese TV stations now.

According to the weekly magazine, when a major earthquake with a shock of more than 6 or a 5-5-hour occurs, the TV station will immediately stop the program being played and urgently switch to the live special program led by the news department.
③ The scene of the earthquake scene was so shocking at the first time! How did the TV station do it?
Japan TV has since been equipped with weather forecast camera , as well as the " robot camera " (ロボットカメラ) for natural disasters. The former is often explained with images of famous attractions in various places when broadcasting weather forecasts on Japanese TV programs, such as the crossroads of Shibuya in , Shibuya in , Shinjuku Station , etc.; the latter is often set up in volcanoes, ports, and beaches where disasters are easily affected.
Take NHK as an example and about 700 unmanned cameras have been set up across Japan. The biggest feature of unmanned cameras is that they must maintain a 24-hour recording state.At 311, due to power outages everywhere, many cameras cannot operate normally. Now they are mostly changed to solar power generation to ensure that the screen can still be transmitted normally during power outages.
Weather camera and natural disaster camera screen can also be used cross-used
④ Earthquake and tsunami intelligence zero-time difference broadcast
In addition to earthquake intelligence, if the Meteorological Bureau issues a tsunami warning, the TV station will also broadcast it in the live special program in the form of a word card based on the Meteorological Bureau's estimated tsunami height , arrival time and other information. When the tsunami arrives, the scene will also be broadcast live using the "robot camera" screen for natural disasters as soon as possible.
In addition, each TV station is connected to autonomous organizations in various parts of Japan, and carousels of life information such as shelters , moisture supply department , etc. at any time, so that older people who mainly watch TV can also master the intelligence and fully play the propaganda function of TV media in critical disasters.

⑤ Helicopters are an important means of transportation after the disaster!
Toyo Economic Column reported that during the 311 East Japan earthquake, the tsunami hit Sendai Airport because of the tsunami. The helicopters used to collect materials in Sendai that were permanently stationed in Sendai were not only unavailable, but some were even washed away by the tsunami. Therefore, when Sendai was hit by a tsunami, various TV stations missed the first time they took the filming. Later, various Japanese TV stations changed the configuration measures of helicopters: one was stationed in Tsukuba, which was stationed in , Ibaraki Prefecture, and the other was standby in Kiba, Tokyo.
In addition, taking the South China Sea earthquake as an opportunity, in May 2019, four major private television stations in Nagoya signed a "Common Materials Application Agreement", covering the coastal areas of Ise Bay from Aichi Prefecture to Mie Prefecture. To ensure that one of the TV stations can still share information with each other when the helicopter is damaged.
When the tsunami hit, helicopters became the most precious means of transportation to arrive at the disaster site
▋ Don’t panic after the earthquake! Following the broadcast instructions of "Japan Autonomous Organisations"
In addition to the rapid and efficient response of the TV station, the amazing efficiency of autonomous regions in various parts of Japan is also a major factor that makes people feel at ease when disasters occur. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Affairs of Japan has weaved a close-knit and independent disaster prevention wireless communication system from central , fire disaster prevention to to urban and village to form a closely connected and independent disaster prevention wireless communication system to ensure that when a disaster occurs, it can master information from the local area and upload it layer by layer, transmit fast and correct disaster information, and also give the people the right to know. In 2001, disaster prevention administration will be wirelessly digitized to convey text, pictures, images and other information in each disaster area, and can convey intelligence more effectively.
Disaster Prevention Wireless Broadcast
Take the reporter's own experience as an example: the earthquake in the northwest of Chiba Prefecture on October 7, 2021 was the earthquake of Tokyo where the reporter lived for the first time after 311. After the earthquake ended, and when he was still hesitating whether to escape from the house or stay at home, Zhongye District did regional broadcasts as soon as possible, first describing the earthquake quake that just happened, and then instructing the public to stay at home first. If there is any instructions, it will be broadcast again. The rapid response at the moment when the earthquake occurs can indeed become a force for the people to feel at ease.
▋ "Mobile APP notification system" instant earthquake information is not missed!
The information source that modern young people rely on is no longer on TV, and mobile APP has become an important source of notification when natural disasters . Take Japan's "Disaster Prevention and Quick Report" APP as an example: The APP contacts and cooperates with Japan Meteorological Agency and local autonomous bodies . When a disaster occurs, the mobile phone will activate the notification function to inform the current alarm content released by the Meteorological Agency. In addition, when you first log in to the APP, you need to set your residence location to determine whether there is any danger of soil and rock flow or flood warning area near the residential area.After natural disasters such as earthquakes and other natural disasters, they will be set as an alarm clock design in accordance with the action guidelines issued by the autonomous regions of each region, reminding you when you need to escape urgently and the closest shelter. It fully utilizes scientific and technological technology to meet the needs of governments. As long as the people are in hand, they are not afraid of becoming national-level marginal people!
Accurately grasp various disaster information in residential areas
In addition to disaster intelligence, there are also various disaster prevention knowledge
From Japan's experience in facing natural disasters, it can be seen that Japan, from the media to local autonomous bodies and meteorological agencies, has intertwined into a very dense intelligence information network. China will also encounter some natural disasters every year. Let’s be prepared for danger in times of peace and think about what else we can do now and minimize the disasters together.
