As of August 12, 2024, the National Early Warning Information Compulsory Reminder Trigger Platform (hereinafter referred to as the Platform), which is equipped with mandatory reminder functions such as “flash messaging service”, has been accessed by 266 municipal and county meteorological services of 13 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), such as Tianjin, Jilin, Shanghai, Fujian, Hunan, etc., to carry out pilot application work, and the average trigger time is 0.23 seconds to 3.17 seconds.
For the special emergency and major disaster process, the first indirect early warning information is vital for the community emergency responsibility person. Since the beginning of this year, China Meteorological Administration (CMA) Public Meteorological Service Centre (hereinafter referred to as the Centre) and Migu digital media Co. Ltd.have explored the Platform integrating a variety of high-level warning information mandatory reminder functions such as "flash messaging service" and intelligent voice outbound call, which can ensure that 100% of the information reaches the people in community level.
“The Platform retains the autonomy of primary level meteorological departments to a greater extent during its operation.” WANG Jiahe, director of the Early Warning Release Office of the Centre, introduced that early warning release agencies at all levels can personalize their release strategies based on local conditions.
With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, China meteorological departments will continue to explore the application of AI in mandatory alerts to further enhance service capabilities.
