Quantitative Protocols for Decision-Making in Operational Earthquake Forecasting


Abstract eng:
Guidelines are presented here for establishing quantitative protocols for decision-making in Operational Earthquake Forecasting. These guidelines are based on a taxonomy of possible actions that might be taken during a seismic crisis, when an assessment of the probability of a significant earthquake is undertaken on a regular basis. By taking account of the uncertainty in the estimation of this probability, and also in the leverage ratio of mitigated loss to action cost, actions can be decided on the basis of the level of confidence that the benefits of the action do outweigh the costs. This leads to a colourcoded advisory system for taking actions in response to an operational earthquake forecast.
