The Web page included project documents, a list of member cities, articles and reports from member city participants, and other relevant information. The report includes a summary of the assessments of earthquake risk and risk management in the participating cities, city profiles, specific risk management efforts made in the participating cities, and a summary of feedback received from project participants throughout the project. The report provides comparative assessments of earthquake risk, each cities contributing factors, and the state of risk management in each participating city. Because the information for each city was gathered using the same worksheets, systematic descriptions of the key elements of a city's risk and risk management efforts are also included. Sample results of vulnerability and exposure factor values for the twenty cities actively involved in all phases of the project.
Results are relative to the sample.
Each city profile includes a map of the greater metropolitan area, basic information about the city, significant historical developments in the seismic building codes, a graph of the city's population growth, a list of significant earthquakes, a comparative analysis describing the city's earthquake risk in relation to other cities, a list of agencies involved in earthquake risk management, and examples of efforts undertaken to reduce the city's earthquake risk.
