Abstract:Human activities such as mining and reservoir impoundment may induce earthquakes,in which suddenness and destructiveness pose threats to public safety,social stability and economic development. Research and analysis have been taken on the demand for public service and the suggestions for emergency response to human-induced earthquake events including mining and reservoir-induced earthquakes in domestic and overseas. It is demonstrated that the public shows different demands in various types of earthquakes. Consequently,the following suggestions for the earthquake agency and related departments have been revealed:upgrading and implementing emergency plans,improving seismic rating of buildings and structures,while standardizing corporate behaviors before earthquakes;identifying earthquake types,checking and verifying earthquake information,uniting multiple departments to make emergency response and improving disaster information collection methods during earthquakes;paying attention to popular science promotion and media guidance after earthquakes. Taking efforts in peacetime and during earthquakes for the earthquake agencies and related departments helps to effectively deal with human-induced earthquakes,therefore maintaining social stability.
