| Natural catastrophes do not depend on the actions of people, that is why it seems that we can't do anything in order to withstand them. Sometimes catastrophes result in death of thousands of people and in destruction of private and public property. This way natural catastrophes affect not only the government and common people of the country where the disaster has taken place, but they have impact on people living in different regions of the world, from the residents of islands in the Pacific ocean to the residents of big cities in Europe and the United States. For a long time earthquakes have been regarded as a natural disaster that can't be controlled. People living in the regions that are frequently suffering from earthquakes are learned since their childhood how to act during an earthquake. But nevertheless, the suddenness of any earthquake can lead to enormous damages to material things and to lives of people as well.
During long time people have been searching for a chance to envisage when earthquake occurs. Earthquake forecasting can help people in minimizing the negative consequences from this natural disaster. If there is an earthquake risk people can as a minimum leave their houses on time and to save their lives. After long years of scientific researches the causes and stimulating mechanisms of earthquakes have been discovered. This concept allowed to develop specialized tools that monitor the dynamics of processes and basing on such monitoring are able to give beforehand reliable forecast of earthquake with indication of the area, time and magnitude of the coming earthquake.
Our organization has been working in the branch of earthquake forecasts during more than 20 years. A large amount of materials have been collected during these years. Long-term experience and continuing improving of the concept of earthquake forecasting guarantee the solution of practical problems in the branch of instruments for earthquake forecasting, as well as guarantee the receipt of reliable results. Detailed description of earthquake forecast concept and other cognitive information about earthquake forecasts are presented at our website. |
