Description
During the USAID-funded FORCE project, the GEM hazard team developed new models for the Central America and the Caribbean region, using the FERMI tool to develop the fault-based source model, with updated subduction sources, and a backbone ground motion model. The v2026.0.0 model includes both a time-independent and a time-dependent (TD) hazard model. The previous model covering the Central America and the Caribbean region (v2018.0.0) was initially developed in the framework of the CCARA project, a GEM collaboration project funded by USAID. Several significant updates were made to the model by the GEM hazard team, leading to the v2019.1.0 release.
