Natural ULF/ELF preseismic emissioin, registered at Karimshino complex observatory (Lat=52.83 N,<br />

Long=158.13 E, Kamchatka, Russia), is used to obtain not only the most probable time of the EQ and<br />

its azimuth. It was shown in (Schekotov et al., 2006) that several days before an earthquake the signal<br />

polarization changes so that the signal orientation indicates the appearance an additional source in the<br />

seismic zone. The spectrum of the preseismic emission varies with time: it is enriched with high (above<br />

20 Hz) frequencies at the early stage of the earthquake preparation while low frequencies (several Hz)<br />

dominate at its last stage. The maximum of averaged over frequency occurs 1-5 days before an<br />

earthquake. For this interval of maximal, the pulse component of the field is revealed and its average<br />

azimuth is calculated. This azimuth approximately agrees with the azimuth of the forthcoming<br />

earthquake. This research is supported in a frame of ISTC project 2990.<br />
