Accurate Earthquake Forecasting Startup «TRON»

 Experts say quake forecast is “extremely hard” because of the complexity of fault lines, points where massive and irregularly shaped slabs of solid rock meet below the Earth’s surface. An earthquake of 8.8 magnitude, one of the 10 strongest ever recorded,  struck  Russia’s Far East early on Wednesday, leading to a tsunami alert throughout the Pacific region. Even as “tsunami waves” were reported in Japan and Alaska, panic spread through Japan to the US state of Hawaii. Governments moved to evacuate coastal cities facing a greater risk of potentially massive waves crashing into urban areas. Despite giant scientific leaps that have enabled the human race to forecast major climatic and natural disasters, including tsunamis, earthquakes remain largely unpredictable. There is no accurate warning system for earthquakes, and any progress towards building one is hardly substantive.

On February 6, 2023, centered in the province of Kahramanmaraş, southerrn Turkey, two major earthquakes occurred with magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6 on the Richter scale, with a 9-hour interval between them. These earthquakes resulted in tremendous number of deaths and injuries in 11 cities in the region. In events like these, dead-at-scene rates (coded black in disaster triage situations) are high, and additionally, crush syndrome (CS) is frequently encountered in patients rescued from the debris [1]. CS, also known as traumatic rhabdomyolysis, is most commonly seen in earthquakes, wars, mining accidents, landslides, volcanic eruptions, motor vehicle accidents, and multiple trauma victims, especially those who are trapped for a considerable time, which may result in CS and compartment syndrome [2]. Additionally, CS can be encountered in the emergency department (ED) for routine reasons such as poisoning, stroke, and falls [3]. Theoretically, any situation that results in prolonged immobili...
