The latest aspects of the physical properties of seismic electric sign
als (SES) that are used for earthquake prediction in Greece are descri
bed. The procedure currently followed for the selection of a site appr
opriate for the collection of SES and for the electric dipole configur
ation of such a station are reviewed. The process of constructing a ma
p indicating the seismic areas for which such a station is sensitive i
s also described. A review of other electrical precursors observed in
Greece is given, along with a summary of the newest theoretical models
of the generation of SES. The compatibility of these models with the
existing data on SES is discussed. Furthermore, a number of unsolved p
roblems are listed, along with suggestions for future experimentation.
