Earthquake risk assessment

Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2017
The assessment of earthquake risk in portfolio, urban or regional scale constitutes an important element in the mitigation of economic and social losses due to earthquakes, planning of immediate post-earthquake actions as well as for the development of earthquake insurance schemes.

An integrated approach based earthquake risk assessment of a seismically active and rapidly urbanizing area in Northern Pakistan

Geocarto International, 2022
Earthquake risk in urban areas has recently taken quite a lot of attention. Risk is a cross-cutting combination of vulnerability and hazard. Abbottabad district, a rapidly growing district, is an earthquake-prone area in the north of Pakistan.

Earthquake Insurance and Earthquake Risk Management

Human and Ecological Risk Assessment: An International Journal, 2010
ABSTRACT The Wenchuan earthquake is the largest devastating earthquake striking China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake. In this catastrophe, loss payments were mainly from the government and public endowment. The insurance industry is expected to take more responsibility in the future, since earthquake insurance is one of the most effective and ...

Forecasting earthquakes and earthquake risk

International Journal of Forecasting, 1995
This paper reviews issues, models, and methodologies arising out of the problems of predicting earthquakes and forecasting earthquake risk. The emphasis is on statistical methods which attempt to quantify the probability of an earthquake occurring within specified time, space, and magnitude windows.

Risk estimation of the disaster waste generated by both ground motion and tsunami due to the anticipated Nankai Trough earthquake

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021
The amount of disaster waste is one of the most important performance indicators in quantifying the resilience of a community. In fact, disaster waste can have significant negative impacts on the environment in affected regions and hinder the ...

Toward life-cycle reliability-, risk- and resilience-based design and assessment of bridges and bridge networks under independent and interacting hazards: emphasis on earthquake, tsunami and corrosion

Structure and Infrastructure Engineering, 2020
After recent large earthquakes, field investigations confirmed that several bridges were severely damaged and collapsed not only due to the earthquake, as an independent hazard, but also to the subsequent tsunami, landslide or fault displacement.

Challenges and opportunities for pre-crisis emergency risk communication: lessons learned from the earthquake community

Journal of Risk Research, 2020
Prior to the 2009 L’Aquila event, earthquake forecasting and early warning research focused specifically on earthquakes as the crisis events. Although this is still true, the manslaughter convictions of six earthquake scientists and one public official ...
