TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: MAY 1975Description: 10p., 15 figsSubject: Preliminary results of current investigations indicate that predictions of strong earthquakes could be made many years in advance. A method of making short-term predictions will be developed. With this dual capability it should become possible to devise a remedial strategy that could greatly reduce casualties and lower property damage. The problem of how to communicate earthquake prediction to the public and the consequences that flow from such warnings are now being examined. Most experts consider earthquake prediction to be justifiable on both humanitarian and economic grounds
