3d earth earthquake model3/6/2024 The China model has been developed by GEM using public sources of past seismicity, geodesy and geology, exposure and vulnerability information. The risk model may be used to assess potential financial losses to commercial, industrial and residential buildings due to earthquake ground shaking. The vulnerability and exposure models and data were developed by GEM and cover the residential, commercial and industrial building stock. GEM’s South Africa earthquake risk model was generated using the hazard model for South Africa developed by the South Africa Council for Geoscience as the national hazard model, and for input to South Africa building design regulations. This model has been further improved with local information, such as local construction practices, replacement costs and level of enforcement of the seismic regulations. The development process involved dozens of local scientists and engineers from earthquake-prone countries in South America, resulting in an open product for analyzing ground-up loss from ground shaking for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. The GEM Colombia model is based upon GEM’s regional model for South America first developed from 2013 to 2015 within the South America Risk Assessment (SARA) project funded by the Swiss Re Foundation and updated in 2018.
