Résumé

The President, in order to introduce new methods for ensuring seismic safety, improve the seismic resistance of buildings and structures, put into practice a modern system for predicting strong earthquakes and preparing for them, decrees: (a) to gradually launch the National Early Warning System for Strong Earthquakes in the Republic from December 1, 2023 and determine the Ministry of Emergency Situations responsible for this system. This Presidential Decree establishes that within the framework of this National System, on the basis of integration with stations included in the global system of international seismic observations shall be performed the following actions: (a) monitoring of seismic phenomena in Uzbekistan and in the territories adjacent to it is carried out in real time; (b) after the registration of strong vibrations at two or more seismic stations located near the epicenter of the earthquake, and the determination of an earthquake in the national territory with a magnitude of 5 points and higher on the MSK-64 scale: by means of special programs at seismological stations, seismic data are automatically analyzed and earthquake parameters are promptly determined; through the mobile application "Strong Earthquake Alert" in a matter of seconds, an urgent notification is sent to the population about an impending strong earthquake in certain areas of the national territory. All costs associated with the launch of the National Early Warning System for Strong Earthquakes in the Republic of Uzbekistan are covered by the Fund for Support of the Sphere of Seismology, Seismic Resistance of Structures and Seismic Safety. The National Center for Seismic Predictive Monitoring of the Ministry of Emergency Situations carries out the following activities: (a) conducting seismological and seismometric observations on the dams of reservoirs; (b) monitoring of earthquakes during the filling of reservoirs; and (c) assessment of changes in the seismic regime in the process of filling reservoirs with water and water use.
