These efforts led to the development of a repository of probabilistic seismic hazard models, a global exposure dataset comprising structural and occupancy information regarding the residential, commercial and industrial buildings, and a comprehensive set of fragility and vulnerability functions for the most common building classes. These components were used to estimate probabilistic earthquake risk globally using the OpenQuake-engine, an open-source software for seismic hazard and risk analysis. This model allows estimating a number of risk metrics such as annualized average losses or aggregated losses for particular return periods, which are fundamental to the development and implementation of earthquake risk mitigation measures. © The Author(s) 2020.enghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/8755-2930info:eu-repo/semantics/articleEarthquakesHazardsOffice buildingsOpen source softwareOpen systemsRisk analysisRisk perceptionSeismic responseAverage lossEarthquake modelingEarthquake riskIndustrial buildingsRegional projectsReturn periodsSeismic hazardsSeismic riskRisk assessment2019-12-162021-04-16Vitor SilvaDesmond Amo-OduroAlejandro CalderonCatarina CostaJamal DabbeekVenetia DespotakiLuis MartinsMarco PaganiAnirudh RaoMichele SimionatoDaniele ViganòCatalina Yepes-EstradaAna AcevedoHelen CrowleyNick HorspoolKishor JaiswalMurray JourneayMassimiliano Pittore10.1177/8755293019899953
