Event-Based Earthquake Risk Modelling

Abstract eng:
Geoscience Australia’s Earthquake Risk Model (EQRM) is an event-based tool for modelling the ground motion and loss associated with individual earthquake scenarios as well as probabilistic seismic hazard (PSHA) and risk (PSRA) analysis. It has been used to conduct PSHA and PSRA for many of Australia’s largest cities and it has become an important tool for the emergency management community which uses it for scenario response planning. This tool is being refined for use in Australian earthquake monitoring programs to provide automatic loss estimates within minutes of an earthquake occurring. An open-source beta-release version of the software is freely available on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/eqrm). It can be used for hazard or risk analyses in any region of the world by supplying appropriately formatted input files. Source code is also supplied so advanced users can modify individual components to suit their needs.
