The Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program

The National Scientific and Technical Committee of the United Nations International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (UN/IDNDR) has endorsed, as an international demonstration project, the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP), with the full support of UNESCO and the International Council of Scientific Unions (ICSU). The primary goal of GSHAP is to ensure that national agencies are able to assess seismic hazard in a regionally coordinated fashion and with advanced methods. GSHAP will fill a critical gap cited by many countries in properly assessing the seismic hazard of their territory for the implementation of risk mitigation strategies.
