REAL-TIME LOSS ALERTS have been issued during about 7 years to the Swiss Corps for Humanitarian Help and OCHA, approximately
40 minutes after an earthquake occurs in collaboration with the Swiss Seismological Service
(SED). (For results, see publication list). Currently, WAPMERR
and SED are jointly constructing QUAKELOSS2, an improved, open
source earthquake loss assessment tool. This tool will
incorporate lessons learned during the 4 years of practice.
Its data base will be improved and users around the world will
be able to use it. (Duration 2003 to 2010). |

SEISMIC RISK analyses, using QUAKELOSS, have been carried out to estimate losses that have to be expected in potential future earthquakes in the Himalaya,
the United Arab Emirates, Myanmar, Southern Sumatra, Central
Chile, and Lima Peru. This work predicted the extent of the losses sustained in the Kashmir M7.6 earthquake of October 2005. (See publication list). |

RESEARCH ON RELATIONSHIP OF SEISMICITY PATTERNS WITH EARTH TRANSIENTS: WAPMERR's part of the EU-funded project 3-HAZ in the Gulf of Corinth
wass to analyze seismicity patterns. (See publication list,

WAPMERR, in cooperation with the Department of Science and Technology Government of India under the Indo-Russian Program of Cooperation in Science and Technology, developed a team project aimed at reducing the seismic and tsunami risk in India: ‘Earthquake and Tsunami Management System for Government of India'. The creation of a REAL TIME MONITORING 3D Geographical Information System (GIS) for Zone I of Delhi is one of the outcomes of this cooperation. (Duration 2006
to 2008). |

Tsunamis are among the most dangerous and complex natural phenomena, being responsible for great losses of life and extensive destruction of property in many coastal areas of the World Ocean . TSUNAMI HAZARD ASSESSMENT PROJECT FOR THE INDIAN OCEAN (THAP/IND)
is intended to develop a modern method applicable to the long- term tsunami risk assessment problem for areas with different levels of tsunami hazard. |
