GEMECD Partners
GEMECD Geographical RepresentaCon
Geographical area of the world covered by each partner for GEMECD data. 68 events from 1970-‐2011, incl. 2 prior events: 1923 Japan and 1967 Caracas
Consequence types in GEMECD
GEMECD captures the full spectrum of earthquake consequences.
Events and Consequences in GEMECD
!
• 64 global events will be captured for ground shaking damage to standard buildings.
• Ground shaking consequences on criCcal faciliCes, important infrastructure & lifelines (22 events).
• Consequences due to secondary hazards: landslides (13 events), liquefacCon (5 events), tsunami (5 events) and fire following (3 events).
• Human casualty studies and staCsCcs (25 events).
• Socio-‐economic consequence and recovery data (18 events).
Structure of GEMECD
• Data are organised in four Cers. • Tier 0 shows the list of events for which any kind of consequence data are available. One would then click on the event or map to view event data.
• The informaCon is navigated in the following way:

GEMECD milestones completed
‣ GEMECD Consequence Data CollecCon Guidelines ‣ GEMECD Database design ‣ GEMECD web-‐site for internal data and map upload ‣ GEMECD web-‐site’s Interface Guide ‣ Rough Guide to GEMECD geo-‐referencing ‣ ImplementaCon of GEM Taxonomy ‣ Macro template to upload event overviews ‣ Macro template to upload studies on ground shaking damage ‣ Macro template to upload damage to criCcal faciliCes ‣ USGS Shake Map updates
GEMECD studies completed
‣ 60 event overview tables are now completed & uploaded. ‣ 14 events already uploaded with >20 studies on damage to
standard buildings due to ground shaking ‣ 7 events with completed socio-‐economic studies ‣ 10 events with completed human casualty studies ‣ 3 events with completed damage to criCcal faciliCes studies ‣ USGS: >50 events with updated Shake Map (CAR currently
reviewing for final upload)
AcCviCes for Year 3
‣ Final GEMECD partners meeCng in March 2013 in Cambridge. ‣ ConCnual input of consequences data into GEMECD
(www.gemecd.org). ‣ Secondary hazards to be incorporated. ‣ Kyoto to complete literature database of all studies referenced
in GEMECD in Microsoh Access. ‣ Cross event analyses tools are being developed in collaboraCon
with MunichRe and GeoHazards InternaConal (GHI) by KOERI. GEM IT and Stride will be involved from the start to test our feasibility of tools to be housed in the OpenQuake plaborm.
Issues of Concern
‣ 2 of the 9 partner organizaCons are behind schedule but working to catch-‐up (by January 2013) under guidance of PI’s;
‣ Research Assistants are now being integrated into the project to help most partners towards meeCng the goals of GEMECD;
‣ Partners around the World, communicaCon fine but hard to impose tough deadlines remotely;
‣ Secondary hazard guidelines completed, but study upload methodology and templates are not yet completed;
‣ Hard and Cme-‐consuming to get reliable/accurate data for events in the developing World.
IntegraCon with the broader GEM community
‣ GEMECD has been in close contact with O&T team and integrates taxonomy into the database
‣ GEMECD web-‐site allows other GEM Risk projects to make use of data as they get released onto the plaborm
‣ IntegraCon of the database as a read-‐only repository and an acCve database for future uploads will be implemented with GEM IT;
‣ Templates and instrucCons/guidelines have been prepared to enable users to upload studies in the future;
