Executive Summary :

Urban areas are growing at a rapid pace, as a consequence, urban areas have encroached upon areas not suitable for urban growth. There is an urgent need to quantify the urban risk due to seismic activity in terms of damage to buildings, infrastructure etc. These analysis will provide an input into the disaster preparation process.
