“…Research is not only conducted by seismologists and physical scientists, and cooperation is needed for the various stakeholders involved in the design, development, and implementation of EEW. For example, Parolai et al (2018) emphasized the need for better cooperation between seismologists and engineers to deliver better EEW applications. Technology experts are also needed for the technological factors of the software and hardware interfaces of EEW systems (Goltz and Flores, 1997;Minson et al, 2015).…”

Earthquake early warning (EEW) systems aim to warn end-users of incoming ground shaking from earthquakes that have ruptured further afield, potentially reducing risks to lives and properties. EEW is a socio-technical system involving technical and social processes. This paper contributes to advancing EEW research by conducting a literature review investigating the social science knowledge gap in EEW systems. The review of 70 manuscripts found that EEW systems could benefit society, and the benefits may go beyond its direct function for immediate earthquake response. The findings also show that there are social processes involved in designing, developing, and implementing people-centered EEW systems. Therefore, social science research should not just be concerned with the end-user response but also investigate various stakeholders' involvement throughout the development process of EEW systems. Additionally, EEW is a rapidly evolving field of study, and social science research must take a proactive role as EEW technological capacities improve further and becomes more accessible to the public. To improve EEW effectiveness, further research is needed, including (1) advancing our understanding of why people take protective action or not, and ways to encourage appropriate action when alerted; (2) enhancing public understanding, investigating best practices for communicating, educating, and engaging with the public about EEW and overall earthquake resilience; and (3) keeping up with technological advances and societal changes and investigating how these changes impact communities' interactions with EEW from various standpoints including legal perspectives.

“…On an urban scale or in the case of critical structures, performance levels related to immediate occupancy or damage grades should be considered in the short-term forecasting. Specifically, a rapid risk assessment must be extended over the entire duration of the aftershock sequence to consider potential damage accumulations owing to the aftershocks [2]. Operative procedures are then required to combine aftershock occurrence forecasts, models of damage accumulation, and building health characterizations with respect to targeted levels of damage.…”

Specifically, rapid risk assessment must be extended over the entire duration of the aftershock sequence to take into account potential damage accumulation due to aftershocks [2]. Operative procedures are then required to combine aftershock occurrence forecasts, modeling of damage accumulation, and building health characterization with respect to targeted levels of damage.…”

The probability of a reinforced concrete building to sustain cumulative damage during afterschock sequences is a key issue for crisis management. Assessments of time-variant probabilities of damage states are made herein for reinforced concrete building models the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, in the case of a mainshock scenario. The elongation of the first eigenperiod of the building is used as the engineering demand parameter in the computation of the fragility curves for the building models. Period elongation is selected, as it is readily available in the case of buildings with permanent monitoring systems, which are part of a critical infrastructure, and it may be used complementary to post-earthquake building inspection in order to assess earthquake damage. The increase of the vulnerability of the buildings with time due to potential earthquake damage accumulation is modeled with a probabilistic approach, which is based on the Markov chain. During the aftershock sequences the probability to exceed period elongation thresholds accumulates. Additional risk due to aftershocks as a function of time is estimated and the developed framework is based on the traffic-light concept (red-orange-green) for building-tagging with respect to seismic risk to support earthquake risk management in the course of aftershock sequences.
