Shake-maps and rapid loss estimation (JRA3)

Develop the capability to rapidly compute maps of earthquake shaking (Shake-maps) and loss estimation for the Euro-Med region. Coordinator: Mustafa Erdik, Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI), Istanbul, Turkey.

Developments
A strong cooperation with the USGS (Dave Wald) and the SAFER project has been set up in realizing European shakemaps. Operational ShakeMap installations are currently being realized in Romania (NIEP), Italy (INGV), Turkey (KOERI) and Switzerland (ETHZ). 

Investigations on rational and feasible loss assessment methodologies for given hazard (ShakeMap) and basic inventory of elements exposed to hazard are being pursued.
