Monitoring and Assessment of the Seismic Hazards (MASH)

Monitoring and Assessment of Seismic Hazards (MASH) refers to the systematic process of observing and evaluating earthquake risks in a specific area. This includes tracking seismic activity, analyzing geological conditions, and understanding how these factors could impact infrastructure and communities. By gathering and assessing this information, specialists can identify vulnerabilities, improve safety measures, and develop emergency response strategies. Ultimately, MASH aims to reduce the risks associated with earthquakes, helping to protect lives and property through informed planning and preparedness efforts.
