The Earthquake Early Warning Systems (EEWS) are currently in a number of countries with severe seismicity. Theydetect the initiation or development of earthquakes using the differences between the arrival of P and S waves andsignals on-line of seismic sensors network and they emit a warning during the seismic wave will reach a site or another.This system can be used with a monitoring system of building structures behaviour "Structural Health MonitoringSystem" (SHMS) to improve pre-event and post-seismic event forecasts. EEWS can provide valuable information forcivil structures and using information from both systems and SHMS and EEWS leading to a more accurate estimate ofthe loss and to an efficient safety alert. There are many countries where this correlation is permitted; in Romania alsothere are promising achievements in each of these areas. A system which can use all the capabilities and possibilities ofthese existing networks is shown.
