Today analyzing seismicity hazard urban different areas is critical and inevitable due to develop and to expand cities in seismically active zones and naturally, the hazard because the earthquake is more in the bigger cities and the necessity to consider these hazards would be increased. Expanding the cities in Iran seismically active zones caused to be necessary to analyze earthquake hazard. B...

The seismic risk potential for Malawi is high because traditional adobe and earthen structures are seismically vulnerable and large earthquakes of Mw7.0 or greater may occur in the Malawi Rift. To assess seismic risk of the Malawian communities quantitatively, data and models for exposure, hazard, and vulnerability modules that are suitable for Malawi are integrated. The developed risk model is...

The effectiveness of risk mitigation may be compromised by informal trade, including illegal activities, parallel markets and extra-legal activities. While no regulatory system is 100% effective in eliminating the risk of disease transmission through animal and animal product trade, extreme risk aversion in formal import health regulations may increase informal trade, with the unintended conseq...

China is one of the countries with high strong earthquakes, which have a profound effect on China. Wenchuan earthquake caused more than 87 thousand deaths and a direct economic loss of 845.1 billion RMB in May 2008. Earthquake risk communication (ERC) is the effective way to achieve the strategic objective of earthquake risk reduction, but a sound platform for ERC has not been established in Ch...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression, and to identify risk factors related to these mental disorders among hard-hit survivors 1 year after the earthquake in Wenchuan, China. STUDY DESIGN : Cross-sectional survey. METHODS A door-to-door survey covering the entire temporary community was undertaken to investigate 11...

An integrated approach is outlined in this paper to evaluate risks posed by operating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in the National Airspace System. The approach supports the systematic evaluation of potential risk mitigation measures recognizing key issues in creation of regulatory and safety policy, including public perception and UAV market forces. Risk mitigation measures are examined for two ex...

Seismic risk assessment has become a crucial issue for optimal management of economic resources allocated to mitigation. For this purpose, in the last decades, several research activities were aimed update hazard, exposure, and vulnerability models that contribute seismic assessment. From perspective, present work focuses on developing new empirical damage fragility curves census-based typologi...

BACKGROUND In this study, exposure refers to survivors who suffered from life-changing situations, such as personal injuries, the deaths or injury of family members, relatives or friends or the loss of or damage to personal or family property, as a result of the earthquake. The mediating effect of risk perception on the exposure and psychological health in survivors from the Longmen Shan Fault ...

The Great East Japan (Tōhoku/Kanto) earthquake of March 2011 was followed by a major tsunami and nuclear incident. Several previous studies have suggested a number of psychological responses to such disasters. However, few previous studies have modelled individual differences in the risk perceptions of major events, or the implications of these perceptions for relevant behaviours. We conducted ...

Muara Bangkahulu District is one of Bengkulu Province Subdistricts, which used as a place for higher education service centers, government office and community residential areas. has the risk being affected by an earthquake caused its geological conditions. To avoid potential damage due to earthquake, PGA parameters, seismic vulnerability index, ground shear strain, thickness sediment layer (h)...
