Seismic waves (~ 3.5 Km/s) Information (speed of light) Epicenter Earthquake Early Warning Systems: Operating Principle The term “early warning” for seismic hazard implies an alert given after the detection of phenomena indicating the generation of a possibly dangerous event and before it starts damaging a given location.

- 4. June 20, 2011 Early warning and real time earthquake risk mitigation The scale of alert times for earthquake is seconds to tens of seconds In case of earthquakes, Early Warning method is not a classical forecasting method. It can give probabilistic information after the event. The final aim of a seismic early warning system is to estimate in a fast and reliable way the earthquake damage potential. To reach this goal most of worldwide Earthquake early warning system are being designed or actually operated following two complementary approaches: the site-specific systems and the Regional systems
- 5. A major step may be the use of regional networks for the protection of multiple critical systems, and then a hybrid use of regional and on-site warning methods. Earthquake Early Warning Approach: June 20, 2011
- 6. A prototype hybrid seismic early warning system should be based on: a highly-dynamic, high-density seismic network located around a fault zone r obust and reliable signal transmission systems able to operate under extreme conditions capability of fast data processing and modeling information and preparation strategies automated protection systems The functions of a Seismic Alert Management System can be is related to two different phases of an event: early warning : 10-20 seconds after the main shock the system should predict the ground motion intensity, evaluate the epicentre and provide dissemination of information. post (near) event warning : 100-200 seconds after the main shock, the decision support system should address a preliminary scenario based on spatial interpolation of ground motion and then a detailed scenario, based on simulation of simplified source/propagation models.

June 20, 2011 The project context Integrated, broadband communication system for natural hazards emergencies management, including early warning methods The main goal of SIT_MEW Project is to develop an integrated system for emergencies management in case of natural disasters (seismic and volcanic) located in Campania Region, a seismically and volcanic active area. In particular, the attention is focused on the issues concerning risk assessment and mitigation, early warning (EW) methodologies and post-event support activities. SIT_MEW is based on data coming both from an existing seismic network located within the study area ( ISNet, Irpinia Seismic Network ) and it will improve an hybrid EWS.

The OC is supported by a GIS system that represents and performs the geographical information related to real time and near real time phases and the event source and analyses in few minutes the expected damages on structures and buildings.

Editor's Notes
- #4: The earthquake early warning systems are based on the principle that the alert information travels much faster than the seismic waves, as a consequence is possible to send a alert at a target site, that is potentially at risk, from few seconds to tens of seconds before the arrival of the largest amplitude seismic waves. The time range between the alarm and the arrival of the destructive wave is called lead time, and its length depends on the distance from the epicentral area and the target site, and on the latency times due to the computation and telemetry. This time can e sufficient to estimate, through innovative method and fast computational procedures, the magnitude and the location
- #8: The OC designed in SIT_MEW Project receives and elaborates information coming from monitoring systems (i.e., ISNet) and allows to activate a series of automatic security measures for sensible structures and infrastructures
