China Earthquake Networks Center will provide an earthquake notification service to the public through its Weibo account, the center said on Wednesday.

CENC joined hands with Weibo.com and promised that earthquake information would be pushed to all terminal users in the epicenter regions within 10 seconds of the earthquake.

Earthquake alerts will also be available through the center's official Weibo platform, according to Pan Huaiwen, director of CENC.

"The move is to ensure fast and accurate earthquake information access for the relevant people, and to reduce people's panic after the earthquake," Pan said.
