Abstract

On shaky ground? Understanding earthquake ground-shaking in Australia New prediction equations and Australias first site-response model to aid earthquake disaster planning The devastating 1989 Newcastle earthquake, which claimed 13 lives and caused over $800 million in insured losses, showed that Australian communities are not immune to the effects of earthquakes. New ground-motion prediction equations integrated with the first site-response model for Australia can refine our estimates of earthquake ground-shaking, providing the potential to rapidly assess earthquake impact for disaster response.
