As a part of the 2023 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.

The Global Exposure Model is a mosaic of local and regional models with information regarding the residential, commercial, and industrial building stock at the smallest available administrative division of each country and includes details about the number of buildings, number of occupants, vulnerability characteristics, average built-up area, and average replacement cost. The dataset is developed and maintained by the GEM Foundation, using a bottom-up approach at the global scale, using national statistics, socio-economic data, and local datasets. The datasets employed to develop this model were provided by national institutions, or developed within the scope of regional programs or bilateral collaborations. The global maps and the underlying databases are based on best available and publicly accessible datasets and models. This model allows the identification of the most common types of construction worldwide, regions with large fractions of informal construction, and areas prone to natural disasters with a high concentration of population and building stock. The underlying datasets used to create the maps are available for all regions of the world, aggregated at Administrative Level 1 under a CC BY-NC-SA license, or further disaggregated under specific licenses. The open and downloadable Global Exposure Map (v2023.1) in PNG format, presents the geographic distribution of residential, commercial and industrial buildings. The number of buildings and total replacement cost is presented on a hexagonal grid, with a spacing of 0.30 x 0.36 decimal degrees (approximately 1,000 km2 at the equator). The Global Exposure Map (shapefiles) consists of four layers that depict for each hexagon the number of buildings, the built-up area, the total replacement value and the total population.

The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Global Seismic Hazard Map (version 2023.1) depicts the geographic distribution of the Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, computed for reference rock conditions (shear wave velocity, Vs30 , of 760-800 m/s). The map was created by collating maps computed using national and regional probabilistic seismic hazard models developed by various institutions and projects, in collaboration with GEM Foundation scientists. This version represents an update from the previous release from 2018 and features improvements in most regions of the world, as well as a higher spatial definition (approx. 2.5X) compared to the previous version. For the first time, it is now openly available in raster format as a direct download under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license. An interactive online viewer (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) is available, as well as a PDF poster and a high resolution PNG (CC BY-SA 4.0) through the links in this page. A set of comprehensive maps is also available that features up to 20 layers with global coverage, considering PGA and spectral acceleration (SA) for four periods of vibration (0.2s, 0.3s, 0.6s and 1.0s), calculated for reference rock and spatially variable soil conditions, for 2% and 10% probability of exceedance in 50 years. By clicking the "License Request" button, the full set or individual layers can be requested freely for research and public-good applications, or for a licensing fee in the case of commercial applications.
