who are still alive first.
③Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about natural disasters earlier. And some social media platforms(平台) allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters, so others can know their status(状态). Social media is also a place for the latest news, so people can learn what is going on in disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live-streaming(直播) helped raise a lot

Every year, about 5,000,000 earthquakes happen around the world, killing thousands of lives. So when scientists talk about detecting(探测) earthquakes, every second counts. A new AI system developed by our country shortens the time it takes to detect earthquakes.
After an earthquake happens, most researchers can quickly release(发布) the time, place, magnitude(震级) and depth of the earthquake. However, they often don’t include the focal mechanism parameters(震源机制参数), which can be used

to predict the possible distribution(分布) of strong aftershocks(余震).
“It takes other countries three to ten minutes to release the focal mechanism parameters, but by this time the earthquake has fully happened and the harm has been done,” a researcher said. “However, this new system can provide the focal mechanism parameters in just one second and release the information before the aftershocks reach some areas.”
“If we are able to receive the warning information 3 seconds earlier after an earthquake happens, we’ll be able to reduce the wounded by 14%. With 10 seconds
