News GEM’s Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Models on track for 2018 delivery By: Jul 2, 2018 Share Facebook LinkedIn The development of GEM’s Global Earthquake Hazard and Risk Model is a key priority under GEM’s Working Program 2, and completion is expected in December 2018. The workshop held at GEM’s Headquarters in Pavia, Italy on June 21, provided an opportunity for GEM’s partners to learn about the current status of the global model and to contribute to discussions about its development, final products and review. More than half of the world is now covered by the global hazard and risk models and work will continue as scheduled. The workshop also highlighted GEM’s work in social vulnerability and resilience metrics as well as presentations from several partners of their respective national hazard and risk models. “In my opinion, I believe GEM is a big success because of the various institutions and countries using OpenQuake,” Mauro Dolce, GEM Governing Board Chairperson underscoring the different cases where GEM’s tools were applied for national and regional hazard and risk assessments. The main product of this initiative is a global hazard, risk and social vulnerability map that can help in better-informed decision- and policy-making and for contributing to the improvement of measuring risk reduction under the Sendai Framework. In addition to the map, hazard, risk and social vulnerability modelers around the world also stand to benefit from the collaborative, open and transparent way that the GEM scientific teams applied for developing the global models.

Publications Seismic vulnerability assessment of Portuguese masonry buildings Share Facebook LinkedIn Download 2023 | Peer-reviewed According to the 2011 National Housing Census, masonry buildings comprise more than 50% of the Portuguese building stock. This type of construction has demonstrated a poor performance during the destructive events that struck Portugal in the last century (e.g., 1909 M6.3 Benavente, 1969 M7.8 Algarve, 1980 M6.9 Azores). While some efforts have been made towards the vulnerability assessment of individual masonry buildings or the residential building stock at the national scale, this building class has been the target of limited research. In this study, a comprehensive database of material and geometric properties of granite and limestone buildings was used to generate complex 3D numerical models. These models were subjected to nonlinear time history analysis to derive fragility curves considering the record-to-record and building-to-building variability. The structural damage was defined using two novel engineering demand parameters, and the resulting fragility functions were compared against other existing models. These results can be used directly to generate earthquake scenarios at the country scale or in probabilistic seismic risk analysis to identify regions where risk reduction measures should be prioritized.

News GEM Foundation Strengthens Ties with the Global Tsunami Model Community By: Mar 22, 2024 Mar 20, 2024 Share Facebook LinkedIn Lisbon, March 20, 2024 - A two-day workshop held in Lisbon this week marks a significant step towards the formalisation of the Global Tsunami Model (GTM) initiative. Funded by a COST Innovators Grant , the GTM is transitioning from a self-convened group of scientists to a fully independent entity. Comprising a consortium of tsunami scientists from various global affiliations, the workshop hosted at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, also gathered potential partners including the World Bank GFDRR, Munich Re, and the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation. Discussions focused on GTM's future governance structure, products, and services. Helen Crowley, GEM Secretary General was invited to share insights into the governance structure and funding mechanisms employed by GEM as well GEM's history, current status, and potential synergies with GTM. She highlighted the mutual benefits of collaboration, underscoring the shared interest in global tsunami hazard and risk modelling. Synergy with the GEM Foundation In addition to the products and services that the participants expect from an established GTM, such as global tsunami hazard and risk maps, profiles, and open-source software, collaboration could also extend to developing combined models that assess the impact of earthquake ground shaking and tsunami hazards simultaneously. Joint training programs and advocacy efforts promoting Early Warning Systems for both earthquakes and tsunamis were also identified as potential areas of collaboration. Avoiding Duplication of Efforts The workshop emphasised the importance of avoiding duplication of efforts with existing initiatives like GEM. Helen shared areas where collaboration could streamline development: Utilising GEM's ongoing work on a global stochastic event set (a collection of potential earthquake scenarios) and tailoring it to GTM's specific needs. Collaborating on improving the spatial resolution of global exposure models, ensuring they are suitable for tsunami risk assessment. Exploring ways to leverage and build upon the functionalities of GEM's open-source software, the OpenQuake Engine (OQ Engine). The GTM has been invited to share its progress in the next GEM Governing Board meeting in June and to make use of GEM’s presence in the WCEE2024 and UR24 events as opportunities for further networking with potential stakeholders. The Lisbon workshop signifies a crucial step towards a more robust and independent GTM. Collaboration with established initiatives like GEM holds the potential to significantly enhance the impact of both programs, ultimately leading to a better understanding and preparedness for earthquakes and tsunamis around the world.

News Africa Earthquake Model: A major step in understanding earthquake risk in Africa By: May 23, 2019 Share Facebook LinkedIn Aerial shot of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania urban center The GEM Foundation released the Africa Earthquake Hazard and Risk model on 15th May 2019 in recognition of UNDRR's* Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction 2019 in Geneva. The technical data and information for this model can now be downloaded from the Africa Model webpage . The Africa Earthquake model underpins the African portion of GEM’s global maps released in December 2018. “The Africa Earthquake Model is an important scientific contribution to ongoing efforts to reduce earthquake risk in Africa and globally.”- Djillali Benouar, Chair of Africa Science & Technology Advisory Group on DRR for the African Union. The Africa Earthquake Model paints a complete picture of earthquake risk to the continent in terms of potential damage to buildings and direct economic loss. The results can be used by risk managers, urban planners, emergency responders and humanitarian agencies for input to a wide range of disaster risk reduction activities including monitoring of the Sendai Framework indicators. “Presently the model directly supports Sendai Framework Target C by providing estimates of direct economic losses at the national and subnational levels. Through further collaborative efforts, we plan to continue to improve the model to address Targets A, B and D by providing estimates of deaths, missing and affected persons, and impact to critical infrastructure,” said John Schneider, GEM Secretary General.

News Insurance for Natural Perils – A Solution for Nepal? By: Jul 12, 2018 Share Facebook LinkedIn The government of Nepal recently conducted its annual RISK2RESILIENCE conference with the theme: International Conference on Experience of Earthquake Risk Management, Preparedness and Reconstruction in Nepal. The event, held from 18-20 June in Kathmandu, was jointly organized by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA), National Reconstruction Authority (NRA), Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) and National Society for Earthquake Technology - Nepal (NSET). The conference gathered some 240 people comprised of 40 international professionals from 13 different countries and about 200 individuals composed of government officials, DRR experts, practitioners and academia who participated and shared their ideas and views as speakers, presenters and panelists. The event aimed to critically look back at what has been collectively done on Earthquake Risk Reduction and Preparedness in Nepal in the past decades in light of the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake; to critically examine the experience as well as the progress of Earthquake Reconstruction to date; and to help set the Way Forward in the Long Journey of Disaster Risk Management in Nepal. Anselm Smolka, GEM Special Advisor and former Secretary General, participated in the event presenting his insights on how insurance can help Nepal cope with natural perils in the future under the ‘Setting the Future’ keynote session. He also emphasized GEM’s work in promoting earthquake resilience worldwide through high quality open tools and open data. Anselm believes that given the large insurance gap demonstrated by the Gorkha earthquake and Terai Floods, Nepal presents a typical case for non-traditional insurance products. He recommended several options such as microinsurance for rural areas and insurance pool for urban regions. Microinsurance would cover poor or moderately poor people, while insurance pool would cover those residing in the cities and urbanized areas. Anselm added that the end goal of these non-traditional insurance products is disaster relief and recovery. On the last day, Mr. Prem Kumar Rai, Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs remarked that, "This 3-day International Conference has come up with important conclusions and way forward for the country to lessen the adverse impacts of disasters in Nepal based on lessons from the past. I assure you all that the Nepal Government highly acknowledges all these recommendations." (source: NSET) The Risk2Resilience Conference culminated with the approval of the Conference Resolution recommendations endorsed by the participants on how to move forward with Earthquake Risk Management, Preparedness and Reconstruction in Nepal.
