Peaks in seismic activity in the crust surrounding a fault could help signal the arrival of large earthquakes. These peaks may be a good mid-term precursor and allow authorities to declare alerts several months before earthquakes. |

Such long-term statistical forecasts, though useful to government planners, are not effective for taking near-term, damage-minimizing action. We are not able to stay alert every day. |
