earthquake risk assessment

Earthquake risk assessment involves analyzing how likely an earthquake could occur in a specific area and how much damage it might cause. It considers factors like the region’s geological fault lines, history of past earthquakes, building structures, population density, and local infrastructure. This helps determine the level of threat and guides strategies to reduce risk, such as strengthening buildings or planning emergency responses. Essentially, it’s a careful evaluation to understand potential dangers and improve safety, enabling communities to prepare effectively for possible earthquakes.
