Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems are under development and in operation worldwide with the goal of providing critical seconds of warning ahead of impending shaking during an earthquake. These systems vary widely in terms of their input data, methods for estimating anticipated ground shaking, target user groups, and criteria for issuing alerts.  The success of such systems depends on multiple components working together: alerting objectives that are clearly defined and communicated, reliable real-time data from sensor networks, algorithms that rapidly characterize expected ground shaking with sufficient accuracy, and education and outreach to inform users about system capabilities.  

We welcome presentations on all aspects of EEW development and implementation globally including system performance and metrics; alerting strategies; system robustness; improvements to existing data sources and exploration of new data types; algorithm development; and research to understand users’ needs, perceptions of the system, and responses to alerts.
