Earthquake Early Warning – Benefits of Now-Casting
Featuring Dr.Mathias Franke, Kinemetrics, Inc.
Join us to take a look at how to improve Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) systems.
EEW has a wide range of potential benefits from public alerts to machine interaction preventing loss of life and costly damages. It also has its limitations due to network topology, geological conditions, and processing uncertainties. Extending EEW to the immediate evaluation and alerting of the ground motion – Now-Casting – is a fantastic tool to improve earthquake warning systems.
In this session, Mathias Franke will demonstrate how real-time response spectra can deliver Now-Casting in new and existing EEW systems.
