Active Faults Database
License type:
CC BY-SA 4.0
The GEM Foundation's Global Active Faults is building a comprehensive, global dataset of active fault traces of seismogenic concern. This repository comprises GIS files of fault traces and small amount of relevant attributes or metadata (fault geometry, kinematics, slip rate, etc.) useful for seismic hazard modeling and other tectonic applications. The dataset is being assembled primarily as a part of GEM's global Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Modeling efforts, although we hope that the data find wide use in research, education and general interest among many users.
The dataset currently covers most of the deforming continental regions on earth with the exceptions of the Malay Archipelago, Madagascar, Canada, and a few other regions.

Atlas - Global Seismic Hazard Curves
License type:
Custom license
Atlas is a dynamic web portal and API, allowing subscribers to view the different layers of the Global Seismic Hazard Map in a GIS style mapviewer featuring instant display and download of hazard curves for the selected sites.
This is a subscription service which provides clients with a pay-as-you-go alternative to licensing the GSHM data layers directly. Subscriptions permitting access to the Atlas are available today; please contact GEM Products for details. Resellers, brokers and other organizations wishing to integrate the API into their workflows should contact GEM Products to discuss the terms of possible collaboration.

Country-Territory Seismic Risk Profiles
License type:
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
The GEM Foundation has produced a collection of Country/Territory Seismic Risk Profiles that summarize key metrics of seismic risk, to provide stakeholders in risk management an overview of the risk in a region at-a-glance. Each profile presents the following relavant information:
*Social indicators, which provide context to the region in question
*Risk indicators, detailing an occupancy breakdown of exposed value and losses
*A list of the major earthquakes that have impacted the region
*Loss per region, providing a breakdown of average annual losses per Administrative level 1
*Building classes, depicting the major construction materials used in the region
*Loss curves, which provide expected losses per different return periods
*Maps depicting the geographical distribution of hazard, exposure and losses
The risk results are the results of an event-based risk analysis, where 100,000 years of earthquakes are simulated. Three lines of business are considered: residential, commercial, and industrial. Therefore, value or earthquake losses to other building occupancies (e.g., schools, healthcare) and infrastructure are not included.

Earthquake Scenario Database
License type:
CC BY-NC-SA 4.0
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.
