Country/Territory Seismic Risk Profiles

<p>The GEM Foundation has produced a collection of Country/Territory Seismic Risk Profiles that summarize key metrics of seismic risk, to provide stakeholders in risk management an overview of the risk in a region at-a-glance. Each profile presents the following relavant information:</p> <ul> <li>Social indicators, which provide context to the region in question&nbsp;</li> <li>Risk indicators, detailing an occupancy breakdown of exposed value and losses&nbsp;</li> <li>A list of the major earthquakes that have impacted the region&nbsp;</li> <li>Loss per region, providing a breakdown of average annual losses per Administrative level 1&nbsp;</li> <li>Building classes, depicting the major construction materials used in the region&nbsp;</li> <li>Loss curves, which provide expected losses per different return periods&nbsp;</li> <li>Maps depicting the geographical distribution of hazard, exposure and losses&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p>The risk results are the results of an event-based risk analysis, where 100,000 years of earthquakes are simulated. Three lines of business are considered: residential, commercial, and industrial. Therefore, value or earthquake losses to other building occupancies (e.g., schools, healthcare) and infrastructure are not included.</p>
