Roger, the forecasting program I am running is probably 5 to 10 times as sophisticated as you think it is. My data processing routines did an incredibly good job of pointing to exactly where that December 22 earthquake in California would occur based on my November 7 warning signal.

I am in the process of contacting different groups around the world in an effort to get the routines I have developed packaged into a usable forecasting computer program. You would enter precursor data. And it would provide you with a list of possible locations for the expected earthquake. Those data could then be merged with ones being generated by other forecasting procedures in order to produce even more accurate results.

The main problem at this point is the fact that there is simply no urgency by governments around the world and the international scientific community to develop earthquake forecasting programs of any sort. Otherwise this effort would have been done a long time ago. And I feel that destructive earthquakes would have to a large degree become a thing of the past. Without that type of urgency these types of efforts take a lot of time. And it is really the same with anything. Just think of how long it took international health officials to get that SARS epidemic under control. And they are well organized and funded.

These are personal opinions.
