Beyond Deaths and Dollars: Modeling Requirements to Support Equity‐Focused Disaster Risk Management
The disaster risk modeling framework has long focused on quantifiable impact metrics to assess a hazard's potential direct effects, such as fatalities (deaths) and economic losses (dollars). Over time, as the framework has expanded to inform both public and private applications, additional impact metrics that more directly consider the societal roots ...

Abstract Long‐term rates of crustal uplift in southern Calabria and NE Sicily are incompletely understood due to limited information about the age of marine terraces at 1.0–1.3 km above sea level (asl). This study provides a new constraint on high‐elevation terrace ages through integrated analysis of geochronology, stratigraphy, shoreline modeling, and

Ground effects of the 18 October 1992, Murindo earthquake (NW Colombia), using the Environmental Seismic Intensity Scale (ESI 2007) for the assessment of intensity [PDF]
The macroseismic intensity of the 18 October 1992 Murindo-Atrato earthquake that affected the northwestern states of Colombia (Choco\ub4 and Antioquia) is reassessed using the newly developed INQUA Environmental Seismic Intensity Scale (ESI 2007) which ...

ABSTRACT This study compares two approaches for determining earthquake magnitude (M) and source‐to‐site distance (R) to assess seismic scenarios in Italy. The first method relies on geological criteria from the Italian seismogenic sources database (DISS3.3.0), while the second method uses historical earthquakes from the DBMI‐CPTI15 Italian catalogue ...
