Abstract of the 249th meeting of CCEP
The 249th meeting of the Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction (CCEP) was held at the Kanto Regional Survey Department of the GSI on November 27, 2025. And the meeting was onsite and online confference. Firstly, the nationwide monitoring data of the seismic activity was reported. Secondary, the CCEP members discussed the intensive discussion subject "Changing concepts regarding earthquake prediction and forecasting" was explained. * The materials on this site are written in Japanese.
