Earthquake Loss Estimation Models

Earthquake Loss Estimation Models are tools used to predict potential damages and economic impacts from an earthquake. They analyze factors like the quake’s size, location, building structures, and population density to estimate how many buildings might be damaged, injuries, and financial losses. These models help governments and engineers plan for emergency responses and improve building designs to reduce future risks. Essentially, they provide a forecast of possible consequences, allowing for better preparedness and mitigation strategies to protect lives and property.
