Seismic Risk Assessment

Seismic Risk Assessment is the process of evaluating the potential hazards and impacts associated with earthquakes on buildings, infrastructure, and communities. It involves analyzing the likelihood of seismic events, assessing how structures might respond to shaking, and identifying vulnerable areas. The goal is to understand risks so that planners, engineers, and policymakers can implement strategies to minimize damage, enhance safety, and prepare for emergencies. This assessment helps communities improve resilience against earthquakes, protecting lives and property.
