Beyond Deaths and Dollars: Modeling Requirements to Support Equity‐Focused Disaster Risk Management
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.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 ...

Intensity assignments from historical earthquake data: issues of certainty and quality
Annals of Geophysics, 1998 The use of macroseismic data in assessing parameters for historical earthquakes for use in seismic hazard assessment has thrown more attention on the way in which these data are treated.

USGS “Did You Feel It?”—Science and Lessons From 20 Years of Citizen Science-Based Macroseismology
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) “Did You Feel It?” (DYFI) system is an automatic method for rapidly collecting macroseismic intensity (MI) data from internet users’ shaking and damage reports and for generating intensity maps immediately following felt

Integrating strong-motion recordings and twitter data for a rapid shakemap of macroseismic intensity
, 2020 Rapid estimation of the intensity of seismic ground motions is crucial for an effective rapid response when an earthquake occurs. To this end, maps of updated grond-motion fields (or shakemaps) are produced by using observations or measurements in near ...

Quantification of earthquake diagnostic effects to assess low macroseismic intensities [PDF]
Natural Hazards, 2020 AbstractA large amount of data about earthquake effects, supplied by citizens through a web-based questionnaire, enabled the analysis of the occurrence of many of the effects on humans and objects listed in macroseismic scales descriptions. Regarding the other diagnostic effects (rattling, moving, shifting, falling or overturning depending of the ...

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.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
