000018948 520__ $$2eng$$aThe San Diego-Tijuana Earthquake Scenario Project was initiated by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI) San Diego Chapter starting in 2013. Spurred by previous scenario studies and consideration of the cross-border interdependence in the greater San Diego-Tijuana region, EERI sponsored a series of meetings, presentations, and a workshop leading to the organization of a scenario project team in 2015. A U.S. and Mexico-based team of engineers, geologists, researchers, and public officials are working collaboratively on the project. The scenario project team has recognized the opportunity to investigate the cross-border vulnerability from a M6.9 earthquake scenario on the Rose Canyon Fault. While the postulated earthquake fault rupture terminates off-shore at the U.S.-Mexico border south of San Diego, rupture directivity toward Tijuana amplifies the ground shaking and resulting damage on the Mexican side of the border. The earthquake scenario project utilizes recent advances in the understanding of seismic hazards in the greater San Diego-Tijuana region. A regional seismic hazard and vulnerability study is being conducted utilizing the all hazards loss estimation tool “HAZUS,” to quantify the expected earthquake losses. The key objective of the scenario is a “call to action” for regional earthquake preparation and mitigation that will positively affect the entire region on both sides of the border, ultimately providing an opportunity to improve the region’s earthquake awareness, preparedness, public policy, disaster resilience, and earthquake risk management programs. This paper describes the project objectives, organizational effort, technical approach to the hazard and vulnerability study loss modeling, multidisciplinary cross-border collaboration of the project team and stakeholders, and benefits to improve the disaster resilience of the San Diego-Tijuana region.
