Abstract:The intensity rapid report and earthquake early warning network in the Wuhan city circle, which connects the seismic data of the Three Gorges Reservoir and the Danjiangkou Reservoir network, could realize the function of the intensity rapid report and early earthquake warning. The network would greatly improve the ability for earthquake prevention and disaster reduction in the Wuhan city circle. In this study, we present a preliminary discussion on the construction of the network, introduce the distribution of stations, performance index, installation, debugging, and trial operation situation of the instruments in the network. During the trial operation of the network, a M3.2 earthquake occurred at Shayang county, in Jingmen city, on Nov. 1, 2015, and was monitored by the network; thereby a warning was issued successfully. Finally, we offer various suggestions for the development of the network.
