Earthquake Assessment

Earthquake assessment involves evaluating the potential impact of earthquakes on structures and communities. It includes analyzing seismic hazards, such as fault lines and ground shaking risks, and examining buildings' design and construction standards. Experts use data from past earthquakes, geological surveys, and simulations to determine vulnerabilities. The goal is to estimate possible damages, improve safety measures, and guide building codes to reduce risks. This process helps communities prepare for and respond effectively to earthquakes, minimizing injuries, property damage, and ensuring quicker recovery.
