Earthquake Risk Reduction: From Scenario Simulators Including Systemic Interdependency to Impact Indicators

Earthquakes have a strong effect on the socio-economic well-being of countries; the consequences can lead to a complex cascade of related incidents, expanding across sectors and borders, and in a more serious context, to our basic survivability. An urban area consists on several complex and highly connected systems. A significant loss of housing, education, power outages or other component would have substantial negative impacts. How would constrains in residential areas affect the residential distribution of the region? How would a general change in accessibility due to severe damage affect the population or the economy (employment changes)?
