Original Abstract Submitted
An on-site earthquake early warning method is disclosed. The method includes the following steps: receiving a first signal generated in response to a first vibration event and a second signal generated in response to a second vibration event; determining whether an earthquake event exists according to the first and the second signals; predicting a real-time seismic shear wave prediction characteristic value according to the first signal; and sending the real-time seismic shear wave prediction characteristic value when it is determined that the earthquake event exists.
