      Mostly because the beeps in the American EAS are actually full of information such as where the alert should go to, when the alert expires, who issued the alert, what type of alert it is, and more. It's using a technology called Specific Area Message Encoding, Google it if you're curious about it.
      The long tone after the 3 beeps is the attention signal, and it's meant to get your attention. The 3 short bursts at the end signal an End Of Message.

      Brilliantly done. He also understood clearly the absolute need for speed when dealing with a tsunami warning that close to shore. People had 8-10 minutes of warning all across Japan. It was a massive and very quick-acting natural disaster, with the combination of earthquake and tsunami being like a typhoon suddenly showing up and hitting with 8-10 minutes warning. You needed to RUN if you wanted to survive in some places.

    The way that signal at the end automatically turns on their TVs and radios to an emergency broadcast is absolutely brilliant. It really shows the determination to keep people promptly informed and make sure nobody is getting left behind. In America emergency broadcasts are so much more of a suggestion than something designed to save lives.

      Technically, we have a system that already does this - NOAA Weather Radio. The entire country is blanketed with radio transmitters that broadcast automated weather information, forecasts, and watches/warnings as they're issued. A dedicated weather radio receiver can pick up these broadcasts, and sound an audible/visual alert when one is issued for the county you're in. The modem-like screeching you hear at the start of an EAS message on Radio or TV is itself a digital signal (known as the S.A.M.E. Header) that can activate devices.
      NOAA designed SAME back in the 1980s for Weather Radio, and it was later picked up by the FCC for the broader EAS system in 1997. Being that old, it's simple and has some limitations, which is why FEMA and the FCC later developed protocols like CAP (for distributing alerts over the Internet and IP networks) and WEA (cell phone emergency alerts, also distributed over-the-air by PBS Stations as a backup). Despite automated alert information being readily available, its inclusion into TVs and non-weather radios was never mandated because lol this is America.
      Part of that, admittedly, is because the kinds of threats generally dealt with in the US (and which in turn formed the basis of alert networks) are a bit less time-sensitive than Earthquake Early Warning (wherein you need to get an alert out in seconds, because you only have seconds to react) or Tsunamis (which, in Japan, often strike within minutes). Things like Tornados and Thunderstorms are easily predictable, and the average warning time for them stretches from well over 15 minutes (for tornados) to hours.
      It will be interesting to see how California's new Earthquake Early Warning system changes some of this, as it now imposes the same requirements (alerts need to be distributed in less than a second over a wide area) onto our existing warning systems...which just aren't designed for that. We'll see what happens.

      Maybe because he personally experienced this himself? I don't know how long the reporter has been in that station, but maybe during The Great East Japan earthquake, he probably was one of the ones that were affected horribly (probably his or his relative's homes were destroyed during the tsunami? Or he lost a loved one during the tsunami?) so maybe he's making sure that everyone is safe so that they would never lose their loved ones like he probably did.

    Hello, I am Yunia, But my english name is Julia. I am using Google Translate, so do not mind improper grammar. I was in the 2011 Japanese tsunami. i got washed up by the waves, got knocked out, and Was very close to dying. Then, a doctor rescued me and landed in the ICU. His name was Hikari. We fell in love, and got married. We had twins in 2013, and named them Kay and Yuto. We also moved to Tokyo. On 2016/11/22, we were watching Good Morning Japan, When the alert popped up. It was a normal earthquake, so we did not mind, and we were safe. Then, the man's voice sounded alert, telling us a tsunami was coming. I had a panic attack, while the twins were giggling and babbling "tsunami! tsunami!" We hurried away from the ocean and caught a plane to America right when the tsunami hit. We loved america, so we sold our house and bought a fancy one. We moved to Raliegh, North Carolina. That is our journey, and the Japanese version Is below!!
    こんにちは、ユニアです。英語での名前はジュリアです。私はGoogle翻訳を使用しているので、不適切な文法は気にしないでください.私は2011年の日本の津波の中にいました。波に流され、ノックアウトされ、死にかけた。その後、医師が私を救出し、ICUに着陸しました。彼の名はひかり。私たちは恋に落ち、結婚しました。 2013年に双子が生まれ、ケイとユウトと名付けました。私たちも東京に引っ越しました。 2016/11/22、おはよう日本を観ていたらアラートが出ました。普通の地震だったので、気にせず無事でした。すると、津波が来るという警戒心の強い男の声が聞こえた。双子が「ツナミ!ツナミ!」とくすくす笑いながら、私はパニック発作を起こしました。津波が襲ったとき、私たちは海から急いで離れ、アメリカ行きの飛行機に乗りました。私たちはアメリカが大好きだったので、家を売っておしゃれな家を買いました。ノースカロライナ州ローリーに引っ越しました

The March 11th earthquake in 2011 occurred at 2:46pm off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture, and was much, much larger then this quake (magnitude 9.0 verses 6.9). The 2011 earthquake was so intense that the image the live cameras were showing at the time could not be clearly seen, simply because they were moving around so much due to the much stronger ground vibrations being experienced at the time. Plus the tsunami warning shown in this video is a lesser alert level then what was issued immediately after the March 11th quake (a major tsunami warning was issued for that one, and rightfully so...)

    It always freaks me out seeing these warnings come up on a live broadcast and just watching the people on TV go from lively to dead-serious in the blink of an eye, grinding to a halt and moving straight into emergency mode. In the US, these warnings usually get superimposed over the broadcast while it continues as usual in the background, only catching up a few minutes later so a newscaster can say, “Well, a tornado warning has been issued for this and that county, etc.” The immediate, live, real-time response to these warnings in Japanese programming gives me chills.

    • @AureliusR
      @AureliusR Před 5 lety +65

      The difference is that Japan has a huge earthquake early warning system. They HAVE to announce it quickly before the major shockwaves hit. It's a fascinating system. Also, all the people on here saying the warning tones aren't "scary" enough, it's irrelevant. Japanese schoolkids are taught what that sound means, and it's against the law to EVER play that tone when there isn't a real earthquake. Because Japan is a society where people don't actively seek to hurt each other, they actually follow that rule.
      The newscasters are trained on what to do the second they hear that tone. Notice that he was immediately looking at his monitors to see which prefectures to announce, plus probably going over in his head the script they've practised many times.
      Finally, when he gets cut off at the end, that's because the automated tsunami warning system (which is connected to the earthquake system) comes on to send that tone. That weird tone it sends automatically turns on all TVs & radios in the affected area, to wake people up. It can also adjust the volume to be louder so that the alert isn't missed. Japan doesn't mess around when it comes to stuff like this!

  • @Nerdboy208
    @Nerdboy208 Před 4 lety +508

    A fun fact I just learned is that the Morse-code like sounds at the end is an encoding service called “1seg”, and its purpose is to turn on every television and radio that supports it, and tunes it to NHK in the event of a Tsunami warning.

    • @TheLukasz032
      @TheLukasz032 Před 4 lety +53

      That's not the sound. 1seg is a mobile TV platform with reduced quality, occupying 1 spare segment of ISDB-T transport. And it's fully digital. ISDB-T also defines a signaling protocol for data transmission, which is used for sending digital signals to override standby mode and volume controls.
      Sound, on the other hand, is an analog FSK transmission used by analog TVs to do the same thing - as analog TVs don't speak ISDB at all. Also when an analog TV is used with an external ISDB-T box, the digital message will override standby and volume on the box, while FSK transmission will pass through to the TV and do the same thing on the TV.

    For the people who wants to know about this (2:36) "Morse code like" alarming sound:
    This warning sound is called "Kin'-kyu Kei-hou Ho-So" (pronounce like: Kin'-cue Kei-haw Haw-saw), which means "Emergency Warning System / Emergency Warning Broadcast System"(EWS/EWBS) in Japanese.
    The sound itself is for analog tv/radios which aim to force switch the tv/radio on to tell the people that Tsunami warning by JMA (Japan Meteorological Agency) or Evacuation warning by local government had been issued. (but almost all tv/radios didn't have that feature implemented)
    The analog warning sound is coded with FSK modulation, 96bits long (start signal) and 192bits long (end signal), speed is 64bps. (one block of start signal is 1.5sec long, end signal is 3sec long, start signal repeats 4-10 blocks, end signal repeats 2-4 blocks)
    The sound in 1024Hz is "1", and the sound in 640Hz is "0", includes information that the warning starts/ends, areas of warning issued, date/time or so on.
    For the digital tv, the EWS/EBWS signal is digitally coded and send through TMCC (Transmission and Multiplexing Configuration and Control, means Transmission Control Code) and MPEG-TS signal, so the warning sound itself is not always necessary, but analog warning sound is still used for alarming purpose.
    You can read details of technical information of EWS/EBWS below (the document is written in Japanese):

So that's why you don't joke about natural disaster alarms.
