I can give you a few sources. As for ELF  waves, there was a Stanford group
studying low freq. radio waves that recorded some interesting stuff before
Loma Prieta.  Source:

As for the animal behavior, see if you can find the book "When the Snakes
Awake" Animals and Earthquake Prediction by Helmut Tributsch. MIT press
TRIWP 0-262-70035-5. http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/books/13603

There have been many reports of animal coming up out of the ground. For
example, in Italy bugs, snakes, rats and such have been reported "out of the
ground" before large earthquakes as early as 469 B.C.  In Greece before the
city of Helice was destroyed in 373 B.C. animals such as rats, snakes,
weasels, centipedes, worms and beetles "migrated in droves along the
connecting road toward the city of Koria" (Tributsch, 1943). In recent
times, one of the most publicized monitoring programs was undertaken by the
Chinese government in June, 1974, when the National Earthquake Bureau issued
a warning following sever small events in Liaoning Province warning of a
pending event within four years. 100,000 people took part in the monitoring
effort that followed and when they observed snakes and other animals near
Tantung with odd behaviors in December of 1974,  an earthquake warning was
issued and it was followed by an event. Later well water was observed to
change levels and gas bubbles were seen in lakes and rivers Geese flew into
trees and dogs barked. At 10A.M. on 2/4/75 the government started evacuating
people from the larger town and a 7.3 struck at 7:36p.m which would have
killed many had it not been for the evacuations. Some years later however
another large event struck without any warning and no noticeable change in
animal behavior. I tend to believe that there is a connection and you should
take notice when/if your animals start to behave abnormally. You can draw
your own conclusions from this brief description above but I suggest you
read the suggested book. I do have some anecdotal evidence as I had a friend
that lived in Sylmar in 1971 and he had two cats that lived with him in his
small trailer. For two days and nights the cats  flew around the inside the
trailer  for "no reason."  The Sylmar event was early in the A.M. of the
morning of the third day.

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the CERT program (Community
Emergency Response Team) which was developed in 1985 by the Los Angeles City
Fire Department in 1985 to train ordinary citizens to be first responders in
a major disaster.  The program was later adopted by FEMA (1993) and the
training materials are available online at
http://www.citizencorps.gov/cert/index.shtm

 

In their training manual they discuss various earthquake myths.  One of them
perplexes me and I would love to hear from anyone who can explain this.
Below is the material in their training manual.  My questions is what are
the "first low frequency waves of an earthquake" that come PRIOR to the
primary and secondary waves?  Are they talking about EM or non seismic
waves?

 

Their training guide.....

 


Myth:

Animals can sense earthquakes and give advance warning.

 


Fact:

Animals may be able to sense the first low-frequency waves of an earthquake
that occur deep within the Earth, but the damage-causing primary and
secondary waves follow just seconds behind.  Animals do not make good
earthquake warning devices.
