On February 6th, 2016, at 3:57 AM local time,Southern Taiwan was hit by an earthquake (magnitude of 6.3, at a depth around 23 km).

This earthquake-prone country lies on the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate.

8.6 millions people live within 10 km radius of an active fault. 25 millions buildings are considered not to be earthquake resistant.

In Taiwan, 100 % of the population owns a smartphone.

Lessons learned and feedback analysis realized by CynSISabout this event, shows few interesting points.

In Tainan, the 17-story Weiguan Jinlongresidential building collapsed. The people who were inside

(among them 397 rescued and 114 dead)would have had 9 seconds

more to get safety.

If QuakeShare App was available on taiwanese smartphones,it could have:

- alerted the users within 4-6 seconds of the main shock(6-8 sec. before the Taiwan C.W.B. alert)

- advised them on the time period of the S wave arrival(optimal time to get safety)

- checked, at the same time, the users in the affected area- broadcasted to the authorities and rescue teams,their number and geolocation

- transmitted the users's « I need Help » directly to the rescueteams (accelerated response/adequacy with the needs)

- offered the opportunity to send and receive« I am Safe » direct notification between beloved onesindependantly from Facebook activates «Safety Check »or not, and before it is done.

If QuakeShare App was available on taiwanesesmartphones, it could have also :

- increased the chances of rescue within the 48 hours(Only dead bodies were extracted after that time)

- permitted to found quicker the bodies of missing persons(The seven days Search and Rescue operation was

a long paintful waiting time for the families)

- allowed to optimize the emergency relief phaseexpenditure and to accelerate the return into normal life

- allowed to get seismic intensity measures to crossmatchwith buildings resistance data…

With QuakeShare, it is easy:- to reinforce the ability to get safety when warning- to organize realistic safety and evacuation drills, from a list of historical or probable earthquakes- to gather actionable lessons learned.

The maximum intensity of the February 6th, 2016

earthquake was « very strong »and the damages could be

considered of « moderate ».

The shaking of the September 21st, 1999earthquake was perceived

widely and « violent » and the damages were « heavy ».

On September 21st, 1999, at 1:47:12.6 local time,

Central Taiwan was hit by an earthquake

(magnitude of 7.3, at a depth around 8 km).

In a strong aftershock, on September 26th (magnitude of 6.8)

some already weakened buildings collapse, killing more people.

In Taipei City, far from the epicenter, 87 people died

in the rubble of the 12-story Tunghsing Building collapse.

Damage caused by the earthquake included 2,415 deaths,

29 missing, 11,305 severely wounded,

with 51,711 buildings completely destroyed,

53,768 buildings severely damaged, and

a total of NT$300 billion (US$10 billion) worth of damage.

In Taipei City, the people in the 12-story Tunghsing Building wouldhave had 40 seconds to get safety. 87 people died in the rubble.

In Hsinchu Science Park, 37 seconds could have been improved foravoiding some damages and the 6-days shutdown.

Did computer memory prices would have tripled on world markets ?

In Taiwan, 100 % of the population owns a smartphone.8.6 millions people live within 10 km radius of an active fault.25 millions buildings are considered not to be earthquake resistant.

530 Millions inhabitants live in 110 earthquake-prone. A lot of visitors visit.1,44 Billions smarphones were sold in 2015 (1,2 Bn in 2014, 1 Bn in 2013...)Feb. 2016, cheapest smartphones priced at INP 251 (±3€)

In case of accident, crisis or disaster, at any moment, anyone could useQuakeShare App to :

- send out 'I need Help » or « I am Safe »- witness information to authorities in 3 clics, when facing a danger or a risk- receive notifications or alerts for strenghtening people protection.

According to testimonies, in May 2015 Nepal earthquake,Mount Everest climbers would have had enough time to move 20 metersfrom avalanche corridor if they would have used QuakeShare. They wouldhave been alerted 30 seconds in advance.
