Regional Seismic Risk Analysis and Risk Management
Download as PDF
Course Description
This course is aimed at students who are interested in rigorous modeling of earthquake impacts at regional scale and data-driven design of risk management strategies. The first half of the course will focus on building computational tools for simulation of earthquake shaking, damage to buildings and infrastructure, and the resulting social and economic losses. The second half of the course will explore how impact modeling relates to disaster recovery policy, infrastructure investment planning, and other aspects of disaster risk management. The class will include guest speakers from government institutions, private sector, and academia who work at the intersection of risk modeling and planning/policy. The students will also conduct a regional seismic risk analysis tailored to a specific risk management objective, as part of a final project. Prerequisited: CEE 288.
