Abstract
The threat to human society arising from earthquakes should never be underestimated, especially in those regions of the world more exposed to this natural hazard. The complex geodynamics of Central Asia make it a natural research laboratory for the geoscience community, but also present a source of serious concern for local populations and their administrations who have already dealt with the devastating consequence of earthquakes in the past. Evaluating expected seismic risk for the exposed communities is a great challenge that calls for a strong, unified effort by researchers and decision makers. The nature of this challenge requires holistic, multidisciplinary approaches and the development of innovative solutions and methodologies, especially in countries where few resources are available for disaster prevention and mitigation. Within several projects the GFZ Centre for Early Warning currently focuses on different components of risk in Central Asia. This article, therefore, provides a brief overview of these research activities, along with a description of an application in the framework of Early Warning and Rapid Response.
