High-risk seismic time-windows can appear several times a year in a high-risk region and some of them may follow by major and unusual earthquakes in the specified regions and some of them will be false positive alerts (alerts that didn't follow by at least one unusual earthquake during high-risk time-window). It is the nature of the high-risk time-windows and Media outlets can play a positive role by providing accurate and reliable information to the public about the risk of an impending earthquake.

Research institutions can play a positive role before and after major earthquakes by utilizing short-term earthquake risk detection models in several ways:

Private companies can play a positive role in both preparing for and responding to major earthquakes by utilizing short-term earthquake risk models. Some ways private companies can play a positive role include:

Some ways that emergency response organizations can utilize these short-term earthquake risk models include:

Government agencies can play a number of positive roles before and after major earthquakes based on short-term earthquake risk detection models. Some examples of how they can do this include:

Neglecting severe ground condition models for financial markets can have negative consequences, such as:

Short-term earthquake risk detection models can improve several parts of an earthquake response and recovery plan:

Comprehensive earthquake financial risk management can be defined as a multi-faceted approach to managing the financial risks associated with earthquakes. This approach typically includes the following elements:

Preparedness is a dynamic process that should be regularly reviewed and updated, taking into account new information and changes in the risk environment. A short-term earthquake risk model can improve preparedness by providing more accurate and up-to-date information about the likelihood and potential severity of earthquakes, which can help to identify areas and buildings that are at the highest risk of damage and to more accurately estimate the potential financial losses from an earthquake.

Let us see what can be expected if not using severe ground condition models for risk assessment. It can lead to several negative consequences. For example:
