The agency is tasked with monitoring seismic activity across the country, issuing early warnings, and coordinating emergency response efforts in the event of an earthquake. The CEA also conducts extensive research on earthquake science, focusing on understanding the seismic hazards in China, which is one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Additionally, the agency works on improving earthquake-resistant infrastructure and promoting public awareness and education on earthquake safety. Through its comprehensive efforts, the CEA aims to mitigate the impact of earthquakes and enhance the resilience of communities across China.
