Executive Summary
Report
The Training and Communication for Earthquake Risk Assessment (TREQ) Project was designed to
demonstrate how earthquake hazard and risk assessment can inform decision makers in the
development of risk reduction policies, as well as how earthquake risk can be properly communicated
to stakeholders and the public in general. The project was organized into two main parts. The first one
aimed to develop capacity for urban earthquake hazard and risk assessment in Latin America, Quito
(Ecuador), Cali (Colombia), and Santiago de los Caballeros (Dominican Republic); while the second part
was to develop training, educational and communication material to enhance the understanding of
earthquake risk worldwide. The program was tailored for a wide spectrum of stakeholders, categorized
into four main groups: governance (decision-makers/public authorities), industry (practitioners and
professionals), academia (researchers and professors), and the community.
