Abstract
Abstract. Acquiring disaster information quickly after an earthquake is crucial for disaster and emergency rescue management. This study examines a digital social network – an earthquake disaster information reporting network – for rapid collection of earthquake disaster information. Based on the network, the disaster information rapid collection method is expounded in this paper. The structure and components of the reporting network are introduced. Then the work principles of the reporting network are discussed, in which the rapid collection of disaster information is realised by using Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) messages to report the disaster information and Geographic information system (GIS) to analyse and extract useful disaster information. This study introduces some key technologies for the work principles, including the methods of mass sending and receiving of SMS for disaster management, the reporting network grouping management method, brief disaster information codes, and the GIS modelling of the reporting network. Finally, a city earthquake disaster information quick reporting system is developed and with the support of this system the reporting network obtained good results in a real earthquake and earthquake drills. This method is a semi-real time disaster information collection method which extends current SMS based method and meets the need of small and some moderate earthquakes.

By using ArcGIS Engine 9.3 and Visual Studio.Net 2008 C#, the city earthquake disaster information rapid reporting system is developed, which realises the management of the reporting network and its application in disaster infor6mation collection
Summary
First we want to introduce the components of the earthquake disaster information reporting network. A digital social network or community is a digitalized representation of a social network. It has produced many applications in daily life and work, such as Facebook and RenRen. It has produced many applications in daily life and work, such as Facebook and RenRen It produces a good application effect in many professional fields. In China, such a social network has been established for collecting earthquake disaster information, and its digital representation can be called an earthquake disaster information reporting network. In areas with appropriate conditions, the reporter should try to be occupied part-time as a member of the earthquake knowledge dissemination network or earthquake macro-phenomenon observation network
