台灣的地震預警系統將很快大幅提升其監測和警報能力。在地震儀檢測到地震後，新技術將能夠更快地發出警報，讓島上居民得以提前做好防範措施。亞洲時報（Asiatimes.com）報導
約有580公里的新海底電纜將於明年完成，該工程也將有助於該島更好地監測深海板塊運動。台灣位於菲律賓海板塊的西部邊緣，處於地震多發的環太平洋火山帶附近。
該島報警系統由中央氣象局運作，並且目前的響應時間為15至16秒。該局設有陸基站和海底電纜以偵測地震，現在地震檢測站的設施和相關軟體也逐漸得到更新和完善。
增強後的系統旨在更快速地發現地震並及時警告人們，以便讓人們在更安全的地方例如樓梯間或者桌子下面尋找庇護。
對於地震中心點在陸地上的地震，可以在檢測到震顫後15至16秒內發送警報。但是，如果地震中心點發生在海上，系統可能需要25到30秒才能發出警報。
然而，根據中央通訊社的報導，如果地震中心距離該地區太近，預警系統將仍然無法對這些「地震盲點」提供及時的警報。
當地震發生時，地震儀能夠記錄初級（P）波和剪切（S）波。 P波的傳播速度比S波快。前者造成的傷害非常小，而S波則會於波浪移動的方向垂直震動地面。
該局表示，如果地震發生在距離城市100公里的地方，P波將在地震發生15秒後到達該市，而S波將在25秒內到達。如果在城市中安裝了檢測地震波的設備，它會在檢測到P波時發出警報，讓居民在S波到達前10秒鐘做好準備。
一個人對地震作出反應的時間取決於他們與震中的距離，該局說，並補充說，如果在花蓮發生地震，預警系統可能對他們不起作用，但它可以幫助那些在宜蘭縣或台北的人們尋求庇護。
