Earthquake Early Warning Systems
Preface
In the last few decades economic losses due to natural disasters have increased
exponentially worldwide and little progress has
been seen in reducing their rate
of fatalities. This also holds for earthquake disasters and is
mainly due to increasing population and
industrial density in high hazard and
vulnerability areas. Although the prediction
of earthquakes is not yet practicable,
current technology allows prompt identification
of the onset of any dangerous seismic event. Hence early
warning and rapid disaster information systems are
becoming important means for strengthening prevention
and social resilience against the adverse effects
of major natural events and should therefore
become the keystones of disaster mitigation.
