Abstract:
The data of IDC, properly interpreted may predict or prevent some disasters. An earthquake for example, starts with annunciators signals before the event itself. The objective of this study is to show that in areas of high tsunami risk it is often possible to give alert or make an emergency evacuation using IDC data. In additoin, the infrasound stations of the CTBTO can detect the entry of a meteorite in the atmosphere and estimate its probable drop point helping to take emergency measures. The presentation will be based on two concrete cases.
