An assessment of earthquake vulnerabilities in Kathmandu, Nepal for identification of optimal immediate aid sites
An assessment of earthquake vulnerabilities in Kathmandu, Nepal for identification of optimal immediate aid sites
Pre-event vulnerability assessments are an emerging discipline within earthquake risk studies. However, owing to extensive data collection for appropriate building stock representation and associated vulnerability, the majority of studies fail to comprehend the multifaceted nature of building vulnerability for pre-event assessments. Furthermore, few studies explore optimal immediate aid sites for the distribution of aid materials in a post-event scenario. New and novel tools recently released by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) are implemented to overcome limitations of previous studies, permitting standardised repeatable Worldwide results, fulfilling the call from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED) for the establishment of open source risk assessment tools.

Abstract
Pre-event vulnerability assessments are an emerging discipline within earthquake risk studies. However, owing to extensive data collection for appropriate building stock representation and associated vulnerability, the majority of studies fail to comprehend the multifaceted nature of building vulnerability for pre-event assessments. Furthermore, few studies explore optimal immediate aid sites for the distribution of aid materials in a post-event scenario. New and novel tools recently released by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) are implemented to overcome limitations of previous studies, permitting standardised repeatable Worldwide results, fulfilling the call from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED) for the establishment of open source risk assessment tools.
