  International Seismic Safety Organization (ISSO) has been formed to promote
public safety by being prepared for the largest potential events which can
happen at any time, rather than for certain probable events which have been
exceeded in several recent earthquakes with disastrous consequences. The
position of ISSO is available now in English, Italian, Russian, Hebrew,
Spanish, and Hindi at http://www.issoquake.org. That position has been
misrepresented elsewhere and this short note is to counter such inaccurate
viewpoints.
