Practical implementations of operational earthquake forecasting (OEF) and earthquake early warning (EEW) require a decision (or many decisions) to be made in order to mitigate risk. For example, for OEF a decision may be made to remove hazardous material from an industrial site during a period of heightened seismic hazard to reduce the chance of a chemical spill in case of an earthquake. In the context of EEW, a gas network may be automatically shut down to decrease the risk of fire following an earthquake...
