The past years have seen new technologies that could be utilized for early warning and real-time loss estimation. They include self-organizing sensor networks, new satellite imagery with high resolution, multi-sensor observational capacities, and crowd sourcing. From this and improved physical models, data processing and communication methodologies a significant step towards better early warning technologies has been achieved by research. At the same time, early warning systems became part of the disaster management practice for instance in Japan and Indonesia. This book marks the important point where: Research activities continue to improve early warning Experience with applications is expanding At this critical point in development of early warning for geological disasters it is timely to provide a volume that documents the state-of-the-art, provides an overview on recent developments and serves as knowledge resource for researcher and practitioners.

Mit den oben zitierten Worten eroffnete der Staatsprasident von Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Musevani (1997), die Konferenz iiber das Management von Erdbeben katastrophen in Entwicklungslandern in Kampala. Diese Satze umreiBen kurz und biindig das Problem, das sich schon heute und im wachsenden MaBe fUr das nachste Jahrhundert abzeichnet und welches das Thema des heutigen Vortrags ist. Unser Verhiiltnis zu Erdbeben als Naturgewalt hat sich iiber die letzten Jahr tausende bis Jahrhunderte erheblich geandert. Erdbeben gehOren zu den Naturge walten, die yom Menschen nicht kontrolliert werden konnen und die dazu ohne Vorankiindigung auftreten. Man kann vor ihnen nicht davonlaufen wie vor einem Vulkanausbruch oder einem Hurrikan, die sich in der Regel geniigend vorher ankiindigen. Daher lag es nahe, Erdbeben als Ausdruck eines gottlichen Willens zu verstehen. Dies findet man in fast allen Kulturkreisen in Erdbebengebieten. Aus Celebes, dem heutigen Sulawesi, stammt die Darstellung (Abb. 1) der fol genden mythologischen Erzahlung (Ritsema, 1972). Maradika Pudu, der Erdgeist ist von Atala, dem Herrn des Himmels, beauf tragt worden, in der Erde zu sitzen und sie von Zeit zu Zeit beben zu lassen, urn die Leute zu erinnern, Atala nicht zu vergessen. Daher hat Maradika Pudu eine Wasserschiissel vor sich. Wenn er seinen kleinen Finger hinein taucht, gibt es ein kleines Beben; ... Sobald ein Erdbeben verspiirt wird, sollen Leute rufen "Herr wir sind hier.""
