6 Assessment Model Seismic risk assessment model Developer organization and regions of influence Type of results Hazus FEMA; USA Estimates lost buildings; facilities, transportation; estimation of the vulnerable and affected population. RADIUS IDNDR; Emerging Countries Seismic intensity; damage to buildings; Affectation to the Population. Platform management Interactive; Complex Static; simple SEISMOCARE European Comission; Greece. Seismic intensity; damage to buildings, injuries, estimate of the cost of losses due to damage. Static; moderate GEM Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); some countries of North Africa. Lost for damage to buildings, social and economic impact. Interactive; Moderate CAPRA Global Initiative for Disaster Reduction and Building Rehabilitation; Countries of Central America (Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama). Economic losses due to property, probable and expected maximum, and the occupation of the occupants in deaths and injuries.

13 III. Results Damage on building, considering only houses of one and two levels Tijuana City Mexicali City

14 III. Results Impact on the Population, considering only houses of one and two levels Tijuana City Mexicali City

15 IV. Conclusions The importance of using a Geographic Information System The use of Geographic Information Systems in Civil Engineering studies, as well as, in other areas, is to have a powerful tool that allows to perform probability and statistical correlations, as well as having the possibility of graphically reflecting and geolocating the results obtained when these are associated with any kind of affectation in the population.
