The goal of the Program in Central America and the Caribbean is to develop capacity in the region for earthquake risk assessment by leveraging GEM tools and resources.

The CRAVE project, through the current GEM and GVM network tools will offer a timely and unique opportunity to advance the understanding of seismic and volcanic risk in the region.

Willis, a GEM Advisor Sponsor is leading a consortium to implement the project, “Developing a Disaster Risk Transfer Facility in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Region” funded by ADB.

The Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) and the UK Department for International Development's (DFID) competitive Challenge Fund pilots new and innovative risk management approaches.

METIS or Methods and Tools Innovation for Seismic Risk Assessment is a project that is part of the Safety margins determination for design basis-exceeding external hazards program funded by the European Commission.

Modelling Exposure Through Earth Observation Routines (METEOR) takes a step-change in the application of more accurate levels of population exposure to natural hazards.

The Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructure Alliance for Europe (SERA) aims to reduce the risk posed by natural and anthropogenic earthquakes.

Initiated in 2013, the South America Risk Assessment (SARA) Project brought experts, institutions, and stakeholders from seven countries to develop a regional assessment of earthquake hazard and risk.

The availability of new data, local and regional seismotectonic studies and recently developed methods and tools prompt the development of a new PSHA model in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The TREQ Project is designed to demonstrate how earthquake hazard and risk assessment can inform decision makers in the development of risk reduction policies.
