Abstract: Earthquake is considered as one of the biggest threats for the modern civilization. It ruins a large number of buildings throughout the world. Many people die and huge amount of property is destroyed because of this dangerous natural disaster. This is not possible to stop earthquake. So, the only way to save lives and properties from earthquake is the early prediction of it. Many researches have been conducting on it and an expert system has been developed. But the developed system cannot handle uncertainties which provides some inexact results. However, this paper presents a system that predicts earthquake from some signs and patterns by using Evidential Reasoning Approach. The proposed system deals with uncertainties and produces the most accurate results.

Keywords: Earthquake; natural disaster; Evidential Reasoning Approach; Signs and patterns.
