Concern Worldwide will present a system that forecasts earthquake aftershocks of different magnitudes happening in a given timeframe, and can also indicate the most likely geographical location where these aftershocks may happen. How this information was used during the Nepal 2015 earthquake and constraints to the system that indicate the way forward will also be presented.
