URBAN EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS AND RISK ASSESSMENT OF EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION

Journal of Physics of the Earth, 1980
A systems analysis of earthquake hazards in urban areas is carried out in relation to an issue of warning, in which the viewpoint from risk assessment is employed. Mass panic and systems panic are distinguished, and the latter is shown to be much more crucial than the former.The diffusion of issued information is simulated for the Izu Oshima earthquake,
