Earthquake Preparedness Action Plan

Financial protection through short-term earthquake risk detection

Short-term earthquake risk models can help related entities, such as insurance companies and government agencies, provide financial protection for rebuilding and recovery efforts by giving them a better understanding of the likelihood and potential impact of earthquakes in a specific area. This information can be used to create more accurate and comprehensive insurance policies, as well as to develop disaster response and recovery plans.

Positive role of Media outlets during high-risk seismic time windows

High-risk seismic time-windows can appear several times a year in a high-risk region and some of them may follow by major and unusual earthquakes in the specified regions and some of them will be false positive alerts (alerts that didn't follow by at least one unusual earthquake during high-risk time-window). It is the nature of the high-risk time-windows and Media outlets can play a positive role by providing accurate and reliable information to the public about the risk of an impending earthquake.
