ARMENIA PSHA MODELLING

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment for the Republic of Armenia

Overview
Anchor 1

Background

This project responds to a World Bank request for a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for the Republic of Armenia. The goal of this study is to better understand the existing seismic hazard information in the country, and to provide an updated hazard model. The GEM Hazard Team supports all aspects of the model development, and in the running of the analyses with the OpenQuake engine. 


Duration: 2017

Objectives

Probabilistic seismic hazard models, such as this model for the Republic of Armenia, can be used as a rigorous and robust basis for the design of a national disaster risk financing and insurance strategy.
