Probabilistic earthquake hazard assessment for Fiji
Probabilistic earthquake hazard maps were prepared for the Fiji Islands. Damage has been caused by Fiji earthquakes around 1850, in 1884, 1902, 1919, 1932 (twice), 1953 and... -
National Hazard Assessments
Understanding disaster risk enables Government, industry and the community to make better decisions on how to prepare for disasters and improve the resilience of communities.... -
An Empirical Fatality Model for Indonesia Based on a Bayesian Approach
Many earthquakes in Indonesia have caused a large number of fatalities. Disaster risk-reduction of fatalities requires a representative fatality model derived from fatality data... -
