CSCAN –
Philippines
Crustal
Stress for Community Awareness Network (CSCAN), a collaboration of 10 crustal stress monitoring stations across the Philippines
became operational in 2004, enabling communities to work with scientists and public
administrators together in forecasting and preparing for major earthquakes.
Research on
Public Administration
When citizens, administrators and scientists share perspectives with each
other, they establish basis for taking joint action and create action
networks throughout their communities. Intensified action enhances not only
self-reliance, well being and orientation to the future, but also community
survival and development.

Evaluation for Short-Term and
Annual Prediction of Earthquakes (ESTAPE)
To evaluate the practical results of prediction research, the UN
Global Programme UNGP-IPASD developed ESTAPE, the
Evaluation for Short-Term and Annual Prediction of Earthquakes. ESTAPE
provides city administrators and public safety officials with a simple tool
to evaluate earthquake predictions so as to distinguish which information
should be taken into account in preparing their communities for natural
disasters.
