An earthquake scenario catalogue for Canada : a guide to using scenario hazard and risk results / T.E. Hobbs, J.M. Journeay, and D. Rotheram.: M183-2/8806E-PDF
"As part of the national Canadian Seismic Risk Model, a collection of earthquake hazard and risk scenarios has been created and will be documented in a series of Open Files and other publications. This first document will help a user in interpreting and understanding raw scenario outputs, without any technical, pre-requisite skills. A future document will help orient a technical user seeking to run their own earthquake scenarios, by introducing the input files and a strategy for running the OpenQuake (OQ) Engine for Canadian earthquake scenarios. Other documents will help nontechnical users interact with the model and understand how it can be used for disaster risk reduction in Canada. Following the first release of scenarios, tentatively scheduled for June 2021, all files will be accessed through the OpenDRR GitHub project page as they become available: <https://github.com/OpenDRR/earthquake-scenarios>. The raw scenario outputs, formatted as comma-separated value (csv) files, contain information about economic losses, building damage, casualties, and other disruptive impacts. All of the impacts are referenced to a unique asset ID, which can be tied to census geographic divisions or latitude/longitude coordinates for plotting. This paper documents all outputs of these models with sufficient detail for a user to begin exploring the results"--Abstract, page 1.
