Operating earthquake early warning system
Taiwan got hit with back-to-back earthquakes this week—a 6.0-magnitude tremor on Christmas Day, and a 6.6-magnitude quake Saturday night. Saturday's quake shook buildings across Taipei, damaged Taoyuan Airport's ceiling, and cut power to thousands. Taiwan sits on the collision zone where the Philippine Sea plate rams into the Eurasian plate at 7 centimeters per year, producing roughly 2,200 earthquakes annually.
