Description
The v2021 model for Japan was based on the 2014 seismic hazard model issued by the Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion (HERP). The model is described by Fujiwara et al. (2009), Fujiwara et al. (2015), and Fujiwara et al. (2023). The v2025 model has been developed by the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) and will be publicly released at the end of 2025. The models have been translated from its original format into the OpenQuake (OQ) engine within a collaboration between the National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) of Japan, and GEM.
