Description:

The Country/Territory Seismic Risk Profiles were developed by the GEM Foundation to provide stakeholders with a concise yet comprehensive overview of earthquake risk around the world. Each profile includes:

  • Social indicators offering socio-economic context;

  • Risk indicators detailing exposure and average annual losses by residential, commercial, and industrial occupancy;

  • Historical earthquakes that have impacted the region;

  • Administrative-level breakdowns of average annual losses;

  • Dominant building classes and construction materials;

  • Loss curves showing expected economic losses for different return periods;

  • Maps illustrating hazard, exposure, and loss distribution geographically.

These results are based on a probabilistic, event-based risk analysis simulating 100,000 years of seismic activity. Please note that this analysis focuses only on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings; public infrastructure (e.g., schools, healthcare facilities) is excluded.
