Abstract

A single hazard or combinations or cascades of them can lead to direct devastating impact for people, the environment and/or technical infrastructures. In this short overview we will focus on early-warning systems for a set of geological and geophysical hazards, demonstrating a subjective selection of early-warning technologies, developments and realisations. Hence, this review does not claim completeness; nevertheless, by focusing on a few geohazards, the general and internationally agreed strategy of the implementation of early-warning systems for natural hazards should become clear.
