Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis of India
CSIR-SERC – IITM – NDMA Grant-in-Aid Project
- PSHA study – important milestone in the efforts towards systematic seismic risk reduction
- Useful for:
- development of a more realistic and scientific seismic zonation map of India – important activity identified as an urgent need in the National Disaster Management Guidelines by NDMA
- improving our understanding of the seismic hazard across the nation
- identifying areas requiring seismic microzonation
- rational identification of multi-hazard prone regions
- incorporation of earthquake resistant design features in design provisions for new structures and, for strengthening and seismic retrofitting of existing structures in earthquake-prone areas
- allocation of funds for disaster mitigation, disaster preparedness and capacity building
