What drives the cost-effectiveness of earthquake risk reduction?
Our review reveals that the key drivers of the cost-effectiveness of earthquake risk reduction are the building occupancy class (e.g., hospital, school, or residential and commercial), the location (e.g., high or moderate seismic hazard risk), and the performance target (e.g., life safety, immediate occupancy).
Can benefit-cost analysis inform earthquake risk reduction decisions?
This paper reviews the state of the art in using benefit–cost analysis (BCA) to inform earthquake risk reduction decisions by building owners and policymakers. The goal is to provide a roadmap for the application and future development of BCA methods and tools for earthquake risk reduction.
