Asia-Pacific E-Resilience Toolkit Hazard

Earthquakes and E-Resilience

An earthquake can be defined as the shaking of earth caused by waves moving on and below the earth's surface and causing: surface faulting, tremors vibration, liquefaction, landslides, aftershocks and/or tsunamis. Earthquakes can have severe consequences for people and critical ICT infrastructure in Asia and the Pacific. The E-Resilience Toolkit offers insights into a spectrum of available ICT tools and best practices that may benefit policymakers, DRM professionals and vulnerable communities in the Asia-Pacific region to enhance e-resilience and disaster risk management in the context of earthquake hazard.

Displaying 15 - 21 of 48 tools and best practices relevant to earthquake hazard.
