How to Assess Your Seismic Risk

Unpredictable and highly destructive, earthquakes demand the attention of risk managers

There are 55 earthquakes per day around the world. Approximately 16 per year are classified as major earthquakes (7.0 magnitude or above). A 2020 earthquake in Puerto Rico led to at least $3 billion in damage. The 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami cost $46 billion.

Earthquakes are low probability/high damage events. Perhaps most maddening: earthquakes are unpredictable.

Risk managers need to fortify property, store equipment properly, protect people from earthquakes — and have contingency plans to handle the aftermath.

Preparation could be the difference between minimal and serious damage.
