The problem is the nature of an earthquake. They are shifts along fault lines that can just start moving at will. There is often some indication that these are about to occur though. Sensors can show us that the fault line is felling stress about three minutes before the earthquake actually occurs. This is still an emerging science though, so more research is needed before this is used to predict future events.

Were there any warnings about the 2007 Gisborne earthquake in New Zealand in 2007?

It is not possible to issue warnings about earthquakes at present as they cannot be predicted with current knowledge.It is hoped that in the future, warnings will be able to be issued for some types of earthquakes that have foreshocks (smaller earthquakes that happen before the major quake). There is no mention of foreshocks for the Gisborne 2007 quake on the Geonet website. There were aftershocks. See the related links.
