Earthquake Damage Impacts
We have made great progress in modeling physical damage to buildings and infrastructure
Planning emergency response, recovery and mitigation requires translation of physical damage to social and economic impacts

Linking by Spatial Location
Social and economic data can be linked with physical damage by spatial location using GIS
Housing Impacts

Housing usually accounts for the largest number of units and the most economic loss because housing makes up 80-90% of the building stock
