OBJECTIVE 1
Clarify the nature of earthquakes as a hazard and
their impacts

An earthquake is a natural event associated with
movements on a global scale of tectonic plates and the
rupture of faults on a regional scale as a result of that
movement.

FLOODS VS EARTHQUAKES
• Floods are the most frequent and most costly natural hazard on an annual basis in the United States, occurring in every state and territory and causing an average of $5 billion damage each year (Schildgen, 1999),
• However, a single earthquake (e.g., the 1994 Northridge, California quake, has the potential for causing greater economic loss within a minute than floods do for an entire year.
![Page 10: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

EARTHQUAKES, LIKE FLOODS, ARE A NATIONAL PROBLEM
• 44 of the 50 states are at high to very high risk from earthquakes with nearly 200 million households and tens of trillions in property at risk. (FEMA 1997).
![Page 11: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
EARTHQUAKES
• The moderate, large, and great earthquakes (i.e., magnitudes of 6 or greater) generate potential disaster agents that pose the greatest threat to society.
![Page 12: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

FLOODS VS EARTHQUAKES
• In the United States, earthquakes cause fewer fatalities than floods. On the average, fatalities from earthquakes are only about one-third of the 160 fatalities that floods cause annually (Schildgen, 1999; FEMA 1999).
![Page 13: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

FLOODS VS EARTHQUAKES
• Prediction and early warning systems are not yet reliable for earthquakes

14
FLOODS VS EARTHQUAKES
• Disaster mitigation measures (i.e., building codes, construction materials, and retrofit and strengthening) and preparedness measures (e.g., earthquake hazard maps and disaster planning scenarios) are significant factors in keeping the death toll for earthquakes low relative to that for floods in the United States.

FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE
• The chance of a earthquake occurring at a specific location in a given interval of time can be estimated by plotting a graph of the number, N, of earthquakes known to have occurred within an area versus their magnitude, M, and determining empirically how often earthquakes of a particular size.

GROUND SHAKING HAZARD
• Ground shaking is characterized by two primary parameters, each varying as a function of magnitude, distance from the fault zone, and the properties of the local soil and rock: 1) acceleration time history, and 2) spectral acceleration.
![Page 59: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)

CONSTRUCTING A PHSA MAP
• The first step is to choose one of the following parameters to map:
• Intensity (Typically MMI values)• Peak ground acceleration
(Typically PGA values)• Spectral acceleration (Typically
0.2 s period and/or 1.0 s period values)
![Page 64: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
64
CONSTRUCTING A PHSA MAP
• The second step is to choose an appropriate scale for the application and prepare a grid of points (e.g., 0.05 degree latitude and longitude)
![Page 65: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
CONSTRUCTING A PHSA MAP
• The third step is to add the layers of data, such as:
• The geographic boundaries and cultural features of the community.
• The fault systems.
• The seismicity.

INSURANCE
• The business of insurance, including life and health insurance, plays a major financial role in our society, making up about 15 percent of the national gross domestic product.
![Page 70: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

INSURANCE
• In the United States, there are over 3,000 insurance companies, most of which focus on a specific market or line such as auto, title insurance, health, or life.
![Page 71: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
LAW OF LARGE NUMBERS
• The insurance industry exists because of the “Law of large numbers.”
• This law means that the average loss insurers will pay in claims will converge very quickly to a predictable number with low uncertainty as the number of claims increases.
![Page 72: 1 HAZARD MAPPING AND MODELING SESSION 6: MODELING EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050802/56649de85503460f94ae2a20/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

INSURANCE
• Reinsurance companies help to spread the risk.
• Reinsurance is the process by which one insurance company insures another insurance company as a strategy for controlling capacity.
