**8. Proposal**

Based on our analysis of the four earthquakes, my brother and I can confidently propose that a department be established at the Geodetic Administration and the Faculty of Geodesy that will monitor the daily changes in the length of the Earth's crust using our method with GNSS measurements. The department would initially act in the Zagreb area, where the population is largest, and it would move on to other seismically active areas of Croatia once it has proved to be effective. That department of the Geodetic Administration would have almost all the instrumentation necessary for such analyses. There would be no great need for additional funding for the instruments. Furthermore, the Geodetic Administration already has an excellent expert, who would be ideal for the task of processing our geodetic measurements. All measurements and calculations should be automated. All of this should be included in the annual financial plan of the Geodetic Administration and the Faculty of Geodesy. Also, the geodetic expert from the Geodetic Administration should invite colleagues from the Faculty of Geodesy and the Seismology Department of the Faculty of Science to work with them. The Zagreb office for crisis management should financially support this initiative. In addition, the project could be EU-funded. We would be overjoyed if my friends, as well as all inhabitants of Zagreb and Croatia, become safer from, and more prepared for, earthquakes.
