News GEM 12-year anniversary: Bridging science and risk reduction By: Mar 26, 2021 Share Facebook LinkedIn “A dozen years is another milestone for GEM, and particularly poignant after over one year of the coronavirus pandemic. We much appreciate the continued support of our sponsors, collaborators and project partners, and the dedication and commitment of our staff to get us to where we are today, and ready to deliver our mandate in the next 12 years.” GEM Secretary General John Schneider on commemorating GEM’s 12-year anniversary. John added that the availability and access to data, information and tools continue to be fundamental problems in accurately assessing earthquake risk and taking action to reduce risk. “After 12 years, we are proud to have reached a time when GEM can say that harmonized, high quality, open data and open source assessment tools for earthquake hazard and risk are now widely available to the public.” Paul Henshaw, Director of Technology and Development agrees saying, “By overcoming these various challenges over the years, we can show how the evolution of OpenQuake engine and related toolkits has helped advance the science of risk assessment and support international collaboration to increase risk awareness and encourage risk mitigation activities around the world.” GEM’s contribution to disaster risk reduction Beyond the development of tools and databases, GEM’s biggest contribution to disaster risk reduction has been through the completion of the Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Model through a collaboration with hundreds of local experts and dozens of organizations worldwide. Global maps were completed and released in 2018 and the underlying models were released to the public in 2019 and 2020. GEM also released a global set of earthquake vulnerability and resilience indicators in 2020. An earthquake risk model is comprised of three components: a hazard model that defines where, how often and how severely earthquakes will strike in the future; an exposure model that describes the elements at risk, particularly buildings/infrastructure and people; and vulnerability curves or models that describe the relationship between shaking intensity and damage or loss to elements at risk. GEM also develops socioeconomic vulnerability and resilience (SVR) indicators that are used to complement physical models of seismic risk. These indicators can be used to better understand drivers of risk and factors that may contribute to or hinder earthquake recovery. Marco Pagani, GEM Hazard Team Coordinator, explains how GEM’s Global Earthquake Hazard model,completed in 2018, is being used to help improve resilience to earthquakes. “Overall, this compilation of models provides a summary of the best science currently applied to the assessment of seismic hazard across the world at national and regional levels. Many of the models contained in this collection are already used to update building codes and compute risk at national level. The regulation of building construction through building codes is perhaps the most fundamental mechanism for reducing earthquake risk.” Vitor Silva, GEM Risk Team Coordinator, says "It took the GEM team many years to put together all the components to build a Global Earthquake Risk model. Now building vulnerability models are available for more than 600 building types, and exposure information covers residential, commercial and industrial buildings worldwide. On our 12th year, we are happy to have made all of this information available publicly to support decision-makers in assessing earthquake risk and devising strategies for effective risk mitigation. What’s Next In the next one-three years, GEM will be working to make its models and tools more accessible to the insurance and engineering sectors and DRR community more broadly, and to incorporate secondary perils (landslide, liquefaction, and tsunami) and cascading risks into its models. For instance, GEM has begun working on a new Risk Explorer tool which aims to make risk information more accessible to downstream users for risk reduction decision making and is integrating its risk models into financial loss models for insurance applications through third party platforms. Looking ahead to the next dozen years, John explained that “While GEM will continue to focus on the development of models and tools for earthquake risk assessment, and on their application through public and private partnerships at global, regional, national, and local levels, GEM will also evolve and extend its reach through increased collaboration on multi-hazard risk assessment, particularly for climate change risk assessment and adaptation.” 12-year anniversary infographics and media cards 12 key moments in GEM's history .

Publications PSHA Models and Datasets for Urban Hazard Assesment Share Facebook LinkedIn Download 2022 | Report Description of Selected PSHA Models and Compiled Datasets for Urban Hazard Assessment

News TREQ site effects and urban exposure modelling updates By: Feb 19, 2021 Share Facebook LinkedIn Over the past year, TREQ has made significant progress in the risk and hazard assessments for the selected cities – Santiago, Quito and Cali. This includes the completion of the compilation and preparation of existing PSHA models for hazard calculations; and the development of detailed exposure and vulnerability models. Urban Hazard Assessment For Cali, Colombia, the project improved the national model proposed by Arcila et al. (2020) by adding a new fault located over the city (i.e. Cauca-Cali-Patia fault), consistent with the seismic zonations used in the microzonation study for Santiago de Cali (Ingeominas-Dagma, 2005), and the Colombian building code (AIS, 2009). For Quito, Ecuador, the project selected the model of Beauval et al. (2018), composed of shallow and subduction seismic sources characterized using an ISC-based catalogue and active shallow fault sources considering geodetic slip-rates assuming a 50% of aseismic slip. In the second half of 2020, the project worked on collecting and consolidating the available geological, geophysical, and geotechnical data for each of the three cities needed to compute site-response (response of the local soil during seismic shaking). When available, the data collected includes the following measurements for each soil layer: shear wave velocity, layer thickness, unit weight, effective pressure, plasticity index, over consolidation ratio, and non-linear material properties. These properties enable the project to perform dynamic analysis of the soil considering non-linear behavior. If some of this data is incomplete or unavailable, the project estimates the parameters using equations derived from literature where possible. Urban Risk Assessment GEM has already developed exposure datasets at the subnational level in Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Ecuador, however the risk assessment activities planned within the context of TREQ require exposure datasets at the urban scale for the three cities. In order to achieve this, the project focused its activities on the development of an exposure model at a district level using the available datasets in collaboration with the local partners. For the Metropolitan District of Quito (DMQ), a total of 29 datasets were used to determine the occupants, structures and replacement costs of the residential, commercial and industrial building stocks. The project used datasets mainly from the official census of population and households (projected to 2020), the city cadastral database (2020), the land use dataset (2016) and the historical development of the city squares from 1760 to 2015. Currently the model has over 1.8 million occupants and 500,000 structures worth 8 billion USD. The structures have been classified by their construction material, lateral load-resisting system, height, approximate age, use and occupancy type. For Cali, Colombia, a detailed exposure model is under development in collaboration with the local partners. The working group include students and professors from EAFIT University, the city planning department (DAPM, Departamento Administrativo de Planeación Municipal), the Risk Emergency Secretariat of Cali (Secretaría de Gestión del Riesgo), and the Colombian Geological Survey (CGS). For the city of Santiago de los Caballeros, the exposure model has been developed in collaboration with the office of territorial planning (POT, Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial). More than 10 different datasets are being used to characterize the urban environment. The baseline dataset is the land use of the city, featuring the current use of the land at a city square level. The project focused on identifying the physical characteristics of the structures in each square using other information owned by the POT, including the construction material, building height and age of homogeneous zones of the city. The Covid-19 pandemic has strongly impacted the activities planned for the TREQ project. At GEM we are committed to transform and adjust the project activities in order to provide the best result and overcome the difficulties imposed by the global pandemic. Despite the challenges, TREQ local partners remain committed to continue with the project activities in their respective countries and to continue with the collaboration, once the transition period is completed.

News Raising Earthquake Risk Awareness: TREQ’s community workshops for the general public By: Mar 16, 2022 Share Facebook LinkedIn The USAID-supported TREQ project successfully conducted an earthquake risk awareness training for risk management practitioners at the community level. The sessions, held on February 18th and 21st in Medellin, Colombia were designed in collaboration with local partners AMVA (Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá), Sistema de Alerta Temprana de Medellín y el Valle de Aburrá (SIATA) and EAFIT University. The group has also developed a video to support the earthquake risk awareness sessions . A diverse group in charge of disaster risk reduction (DRR) activities was trained, together with personnel in charge of communicating risk to the general public on topics ranging from understanding earthquakes to assessing earthquake risk. A document designed to support people interested in facilitating these types of sessions will be available on the TREQ website soon. Recently, one of the project partners, SIATA has re-echoed what they have learned in a series of meetings at the community of Andalucia in Caldas. Officers from SIATA discussed what people think of when they hear the word ‘earthquake’. The group deliberated on this question to clarify misconceptions and reinforce the facts about this natural phenomenon. TREQ’s communication activities will continue to be held in the city of Medellin as part of the collaboration with the local offices and partners.
