In this study, which was carried out between the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Earthquake and Ground Investigation Directorate and Boğaziçi University Kandilli Observatory, Earthquake Research Institute, Department of Earthquake Engineering, the general characteristics of the Istanbul Earthquake Emergency Response and Early Warning System were described and its algorithm was schematized and explained.

The comparison of the system with urban earthquake monitoring systems in Turkey and other countries was made by taking into account technological, administrative and legal components.

The analysis of the current needs in critical urban infrastructure services (water, electricity, gas, transportation, etc.) that the use of the system would benefit, the definition of necessary standards and, within this scope, actions were defined to ensure that the Istanbul Earthquake Emergency Response and Early Warning System meets these needs or that the current urban infrastructure services are compatible with the system.
