Seismic early warning is being recognized as a methodology which
offers the biggest potential for real time seismic risk mitigation,
particularly in towns and industrial areas. In order to be
effectively applied it requires close cooperation between
seismologists, communication experts and seismic engineers. The
added value of this book is to offer an overview of frontier
problems related to all aspects of the seismic early warning chain,
from basic seismological issues to engineering problems and system
reliability. Early warning seismic networks also provide near real
time shake maps for damage estimation and emergency management
immediately after an event. The state of the major early warning
systems in operation and in the course of development (e.g. those
operated in Japan, Taiwan, Rumania, Turkey and those being
implemented in California and Southern Italy) is also presented. It
is the first time that all these aspects are specifically focused
upon within a single book. It will constitute a reference not only
for researchers and students, but for all institutions which are
willing to face the development and/or implementation of this
methodology, including International organizations (UNDP, European
Civil Protection, European Commision) National Civil Defence
organizations, industry and town-planners.
