WHE-PAGER PROJECT: A NEW INITIATIVE IN ESTIMATING GLOBAL BUILDING INVENTORY AND ITS SEISMIC VULNERABILITY
The U.S. Geological Surveys Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes Response (PAGER) Project and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institutes World Housing Encyclopedia (WHE) are creating a global database of building stocks and their earthquake vulnerability. The WHE already represents a growing, community-developed public database of global housing and its detailed structural characteristics. It currently contains more than 135 reports on particular housing types in 40 countries. The WHE-PAGER effort extends the WHE in several ways: (1) by addressing non-residential construction; (2) by quantifying the prevalence of each building type in both rural and urban areas; (3) by addressing day and night occupancy patterns, (4) by adding quantitative vulnerability estimates from judgment or statistical observation; and (5) by analytically deriving alternative vulnerability estimates using in part laboratory testing.
