Description
As a part of the 2026 release of the Global Earthquake Risk Model, the GEM Foundation has compiled a collection of earthquake footprints and consequences from past events, with the hope that the data find wide use in research, education and general interest among many users. Each entry in the database includes the rupture source file, available information from recording stations and ground-motion models, for use in the OpenQuake Engine. Also, a description of the event and estimates of the impact (in terms of multiple metrics) are reported for each event.
