Earthquake early warning is a technical method that can effectively reduce earthquake disasters. In May 2018, the Fujian Earthquake Agency officially provided information services such as earthquake early warning and earthquake quick report to the public through dedicated receiving terminal and the smart phone application named “Fujian Earthquake Early Warning”. This article briefly introduces the preliminary work of the Fujian Earthquake Early Warning Data Processing System, and focuses on the construction of the Fujian Earthquake Early Warning Information Release System. Finally, taking the M6.4 earthquake in Yilan in 2019 as an example, the actual effect of the earthquake early warning information service is introduced.
