Global Exposure Model
The Global Exposure Model is a mosaic of local and regional models with information regarding the residential, commercial, and industrial building stock at the smallest available administrative division of each country and includes details about the number of buildings, number of occupants, vulnerability characteristics, average built-up area, and average replacement cost.
Global Earthquake Hazard Map
The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Global Seismic Hazard Map (version 2023.1) depicts the geographic distribution of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, computed for reference rock conditions (shear wave velocity, Vs30, of 760-800 m/s).
Global Earthquake Risk Map
The Global Seismic Risk Map (v2023.1) poster comprises three global maps, and a ranking of the top 15 countries according to five risk metrics. The main map presents the geographic distribution of average annual loss (AAL) of the built-up area due to ground shaking in the residential, commercial and industrial building stock. It does not consider the effects of tsunamis, liquefaction, landslides, and fires following earthquakes.
