Natural hazards such as lighting discharge, torrential rainfall, earthquake, and volcanoes threaten human lives and activities. Recent development of electromagnetic technologies allows us to forecast and monitor natural hazards, for example, radars, lighting detection system, and so on. Moreover, earthquake-related electromagnetic phenomena are recently studied actively, and being considered as a promising candidate for short-term earthquake prediction
This technical report presents the recent development of electromagnetic technologies to observe, predict, and analyze various natural phenomena associated with the abovementioned hazards and summarizes the state of the art research progress of seismo-electromagnetics
