On June 18 at 10:55 p.m.,Mrs Zhang was in bed in her home in Chengdu. Suddenly,from outside her house,she heard a loud voice counting "10,9,8,7 ..."
It was an earthquake warning. Just a few seconds before the warning started,an earthquake had started more than 200 kilometres away.
Mrs Zhang immediately got out of bed and ran downstairs to find a safe place. All over Chengdu,there are hundreds of speakers ready to give people early warnings and time to get out of danger.
Earthquake warning systems work because radio signals(信号)are able to travel faster than earthquakes do. If an earthquake starts,a warning is sent out by radio. Cities that are further away get a longer warning time.
According to earthquake research,just three seconds is enough time to save 14% of deaths from an earthquake.
