Abstract
AbstractThe IGCP-659 “SEISMOSHAF” project addresses the seismic hazard and risk mitigation, using the IGCP-601 project database on the seismotectonics of Africa. The seismic hazard assessment and risk mitigation will be conducted to comply with the proposals of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (http://www.unisdr.org/we/inform/publications/43291. Last accessed 30.07.2019). Studies of seismic hazard are vital in terms of understanding potentially damaging earthquakes, which may cause loss of life, injury or other health impacts, property damage, social and economic disruption, or environmental degradation. Seismic hazard assessment is based on the information about the features of excitation of seismic waves at the source, seismic wave propagation (attenuation), and site effect in the region under consideration and combines the results of seismological, geomorphological, geological, geodetic, tectonic investigations, and modeling (https://igcp-project-659.oaka.fr/).KeywordsEarthquakesSeismic hazardSeismotectonicsVulnerabilityAfrica
