Abstract :
The modes of the instant prognosis of earthquakes and tsunami with probability greater than 0.95 are offered. These modes are based on the principal idea of a simultaneous measurement of elastic and electromagnetic waves from the underground center of earthquakes. Electromagnetic waves with frequency from 1 Hz up to 1000 Hz transmit well on the surface of the Earth, bottom of ocean and in open space. The time of arrival of an electromagnetic wave at three (or more) points can be used to determine coordinates of the center of the earthquakes. The measurement of intensity of an electromagnetic signal is an informative indication about arrival of disastrous elastic waves. The mode of fall of energy of elastic waves in a seismic center is developed by an exposure to electromagnetic waves within 30-50 days in one year
