Canada Hazard
OpenQuake engine input model to perform hazard calculations for Canada
Description
Canada's 5th Generation Seismic Hazard Model (Halchuk et al., 2015), was produced by Natural Resources Canada (NRC) in order to develop the 2015 National Building Code of Canada.
The model was originally developed for GSCFRISK software and was subsequently converted into the OpenQuake engine format by NRC. Small, additional adjustments were made by the GEM Secretariat in order to fit the mosaic criteria, see model documentation for further information. Original model input files are available at:
