GMPE logic tree structure developed based on sensitivity tests
SoftwareOpenQuake is used to perform the probabilistic seismic hazard computations following the EMME seismic hazard model.
EMME Seismic Hazard Outputs include:• hazard curves,• hazard maps,• uniform hazard spectra (UHS )• disaggregation

SEISMIC RISK• Assessment of seismic risk
KEY POINT IN THE SUCCESS OF THE EMME PROJECT
• Highest level of contribution from partner countries
• EMME has been entirely based on local data and local expertize
… and many others.Thank you all
• Presentation on EMME City Scenario Applications
Wednesday July 2, GEM Booth• EMME Special Session at the 2ECEES (http://www.2eceesistanbul.org)
