Jiangsu Sets up Digital Earthquake Monitoring Network

East China's Jiangsu Province has set up a Digital Earthquake Precursor Monitoring Network, local sources said.

Seismological experts here said the network will help the province collect and process earthquake information and data at a faster rate.

It took at least half an hour to detect the time, place and degree of an earthquake in the past. The network will shorten the time down to within 15 minutes, possibly even 8 minutes, seismologists said.
