Abstract

An interaction of three major risk components (seismic hazards, vulnerability and exposure) are analysed here, and preventive measures to mitigate disasters are discussed. The importance of action-oriented research on earthquake risk reduction co-produced with multiple stakeholders, including engineers and policymakers, is analysed. This importance is evidenced by the increasing vulnerability and exposure of society to risk in many earthquake-prone regions and by the need for cross-cutting actions in policy and practice related to sustainability.
