Introduction. Earthquakes are one of the most dangerous natural disasters for human life and social infrastructure. Although it is impossible to prevent them, losses can be significantly reduced by reducing their consequences and improving assessment systems. Currently, the possibilities for assessing and preparing for seismic hazards are expanding with the help of modern technologies, scientific approaches and integrated information systems. The results of the research, having studied the earthquake assessment system, recommended the following work: developing a seismic monitoring system, using GAT and satellite data, improving infrastructure and construction standards, organizing rapid information exchange, increasing the readiness of emergency services, introducing research and innovative technologies. Development of a seismic monitoring system. The development of a seismic monitoring system is of great importance for early detection of earthquakes and minimizing their consequences. By expanding the network of high-precision seismic stations based on modern technologies, the possibility of real-time monitoring of ground movements will increase. Such stations will help to quickly determine the magnitude, depth and epicenter of earthquakes. Systems consisting of seismic sensors https://scientific-jl.com/new 11 11 66 Volume–78_Issue-1_June-2025 JOURNAL OF NEW CENTURY INNOVATIONS and accelerometers continuously measure the amplitude and acceleration of ground vibrations and send data to central servers. This data is then used to assess the risk of earthquakes and predict their consequences. In addition, the process of analyzing seismic signals can be automated using algorithms. These technologies accurately distinguish earthquake waves, provide information about their nature, and enable rapid analysis. This will further improve the earthquake forecasting system. Seismic monitoring systems are also being strengthened through the use of IoT devices. Smart sensors and mobile applications connected to them will allow for rapid warning of earthquakes to the population. Using GIS and satellite data. The use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and satellite data can significantly improve the process of assessing the consequences of earthquakes. These technologies play an important role in quickly identifying areas affected by earthquakes, assessing infrastructure damage, and effectively organizing rescue operations. Satellite images can be used to compare the state of the area before and after the earthquake, which makes it possible to determine the extent of damage. In particular, the level of damage to buildings, roads, and other important infrastructure is assessed by analyzing high-resolution radar and optical images. In addition, InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology measures deformations of the earth's surface and accurately calculates displacements around the epicenter of an earthquake. This method accurately measures the movement of tectonic plates, the formation of faults, and the vertical and horizontal displacements caused by an earthquake. InSAR technology is also an effective tool for early detection of areas with high earthquake risk, as it allows for the recording of ground deformations resulting from seismic activity at an early stage. Improving infrastructure and building standards. Improving infrastructure and building standards is essential to reduce the destructive effects of earthquakes and protect human life. In areas with high seismic risk, one of the main tasks is to increase the strength of buildings and structures, improve the quality of building materials, and bring engineering standards up to modern requirements. The widespread introduction of earthquake-resistant construction technologies can minimize damage to infrastructure. First of all, designing earthquake-resistant structures is of grea
