Positive role of Media outlets during high-risk seismic time windows

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.
