===Emergency reporting===
Under the Broadcasting Act, NHK is under the obligation to broadcast early warning emergency reporting in times of natural disasters such as earthquakes and [[tsunami]]s. Their national network of seismometers in cooperation with the [[Japan Meteorological Agency]] makes NHK capable of delivering [[Earthquake Early Warning (Japan)|earthquake early warnings]] seconds after detection, as well as a more detailed report with [[Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale|Shindo]] intensity measurements within two-to-three minutes after the quake. They also broadcast air attack warnings in the event of war, using the [[J-Alert]] system.<ref>{{cite news |last=Corkill |first=Edan |url=http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fd20110320a1.html |title=Planning pays off as NHK takes its quake news global |work=[[The Japan Times]] |date=20 March 2011 |page=9}}</ref>

All warnings are broadcast in Japanese, with tsunami warnings also delivered in four foreign languages: English, Mandarin Chinese, Korean and Portuguese (Japan has small [[Chinese people in Japan|Chinese]], [[Koreans in Japan|Korean]] and [[Brazilians in Japan|Brazilian]] populations). The warnings were broadcast in these languages during the [[2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Japan earthquake & Tsunami warning systems - 11 Mar 2011 on TV (part2of2) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYLh6AroU20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110804025208/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYLh6AroU20 |archive-date=4 August 2011 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
