EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION AND THE GOVERNMENTAL PROCESS

W. Henry Lambright

Review of Policy Research, 1985, vol. 4, issue 4, 716-724

Abstract: As technology increases to predict earthquakes, government must be prepared to expand upon it, legitimate the prediction, and design a program towards effective utilization. The parties involved in this process, in addition to all levels of government, include the scientific community and the media. Unfortunately, the prediction‐warning effort in the United States lags behinathat of other countries, most notably Japan. Lacking is a national policy commitment spurred by the party most vulnerable to a catastrophic earthquake event (e.g., the state of California).
