The residential earthquake insurance of 2002 created additional protected residential earthquake insurance plan, under which residential earthquake insurance is available to individuals from insurance industry in Taiwan. Earthquake damages that occurrence in Taiwan remain largely uninsured losses despite the efforts of governmental and private insurance programs. Spatial Econometrics has been r...

Modeling of earthquake sequences using an epidemic-type aftershock sequence model by Phys. Rev. E 66, 061104 (2002)] has led these authors to conclude that previous analyses of apparent earthquake diffusions were flawed. We show here that diffusion analyses based on spatiotemporal correlation measures for earthquake populations are an appropriate method for capturing the space-time coupling pre...

The Lisbon project basically aims at boosting the EU member states’ potential for dynamic growth. Progress towards the Lisbon goal hinges crucially on the efforts of national governments. For keeping up spirits during the nitty-gritty of making this vision become reality, European leaders need, as the Kok report rightly states, “to instil (the) hope that tomorrow will be better than today”. Thi...

High-amplitude seismic waves from the Mw 7.0 Kumamoto earthquake of April 16, 2016, triggered another large earthquake 80 km to the NE roughly 30 s later. The source was located at shallow depths beneath the Yufuin geothermal field, Oita Prefecture, Japan, and the event magnitude was approximately 5.9. To date, this is one of the clearest known examples of a remotely triggered large earthquake....

Earthquake DSS is an information technology environment which can be used by government to sharpen, make faster and better the earthquake mitigation decision. Earthquake DSS can be delivered as E-government which is not only for government itself but in order to guarantee each citizen’s rights for education, training and information about earthquake and how to overcome the earthquake. Knowledge...
