Zones of higher seismic hazard occupy about 20% of Russia’s territory, and 5% are characterized by extremely high hazard. These latter are, in particular, regions of Caucasus and Crimea with an aggregate population of about 15 M people. In order to assess seismic hazard and to minimize the consequences of possible earthquakes in these regions, a special-purpose database has been created for these regions; this database and a multifunctional user interface for its operation are currently being de
