An EU initiative developed a multifaceted probabilistic system to forecast earthquakes in order to help protect vulnerable European cities, their inhabitants and infrastructures
Many of Europe's cities – especially those with historic centres – could suffer greatly in the event of an earthquake, threatening people's lives and livelihoods significantly. Real-time mitigation of earthquake risk, based on decreasing vulnerability and exposure, could help protect vulnerable cities from the effects of seismic activity.
