Real-time earthquake assessment: Earthquake early warning to post-earthquake damage
Real-time earthquake assessment: Earthquake early warning to post-earthquake damage
Session ID#: 74317
Session Description:
Scientific and technological advances in real-time seismology and earthquake early warning mean we are approaching an era when assessments of the impact of an earthquake can be available as an earthquake is progressing and grow increasingly reliable with increasing time as predictive estimates become constrained by observations.
Recent efforts that can critically improve real-time assessment of the impact include advanced signal processing; tracking evolving finite ruptures; applications of machine learning; on-site alarm systems; use of GMPEs and fragility curves for rapid damage assessment; and the integration of less-traditional datasets including smartphones, GPS, felt/damage reports and social network data.
With this session, we aim to provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field of earthquake early warning and rapid response systems. We hope to create a forum to share experiences, techniques, perspectives, to identify areas for improvements. We welcome contributions on early warning and rapid response development, both methodological improvements and applications.
