    Didactic material to raise awareness in the community about seismic risk. Application for the Aburrá Valley Metropolitan Area (AMVA)
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2022) Acevedo, Ana Beatriz; Yepes-Estrada, Catalina; Castañeda, Orly; Ramírez, Olga; Parra, Alejandra; Universidad EAFIT
    The document is the result of collaborative effort between the GEM Foundation, the Metropolitan Administration of the Valley of Aburrá (AMVA) and its Early Warning System project for Medellín and the Valley of Aburrá - SIATA, and EAFIT University. The aim of the report is to create educational material to raise awareness about seismic risk to support those responsible for communicating this issue to different societal groups. The target audience ranges from students at various educational levels to the general public, including personnel involved in disaster risk planning, reduction, and mitigation activities.

    Modeling the Residential Building Inventory in South America for Seismic Risk Assessment
    (EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING RESEARCH INST, 2017-02-01) Yepes-Estrada, Catalina; Silva, Vitor; Valcarcel, Jairo; Beatriz Acevedo, Ana; Tarque, Nicola; Hube, Matias A.; Coronel, Gustavo; Santa Maria, Hernan; Mecánica Aplicada
    This study presents an open and transparent exposure model for the residential building stock in South America. This model captures the geographical distribution, structural characteristics (including information about construction materials, lateral load resisting system, range of number of stories), average built-up area, replacement cost, expected number of occupants, and number of dwellings and buildings. The methodology utilized to develop this model was based on national population and housing statistics and expert judgment from dozens of local researchers and practitioners. This model has been developed as part of the South America Risk Assessment (SARA) project led by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM), and it can be used to perform earthquake risk analyses.

    Seismic risk awareness workshop aimed at SNGRD operating entities: Application to the Aburrá Valley
    (Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Acevedo, Ana Beatriz; Castañeda, Tatiana; Escallón, Paula; González, Daniela; Leone José; Marín Jenny; Yepes-Estrada, Catalina; Ospina, Wilfredo; Perdomo, José; Universidad EAFIT
    The document constitutes a second version of the workshop “Am I at Risk if an Earthquake Occurs?”, which is designed to raise awareness about seismic risk and initiate an open dialogue based on frequently misunderstood community questions, such as “Can earthquakes occur near my city? How strong can they be? Is my country prepared for a high-intensity earthquake emergency? Am I at risk?” Using simple language in an open and transparent conversation with experts, this session has been the ideal space for the convergence of science and society. The second version of the workshop aims to raise awareness about seismic risk directed at operational entities of the National Disaster Risk Management Information System (SNGRD).
