SARA: South America integrated Risk Assessment Outline Background Objec?ve and Scope Work packages Management
Background Main conclusions from the country profiles on informa?on for risk management. Project promoted by the ECLAC and the IADB [Zapata 2007]: Background Objec?ve and scope Work packages Management A need to standardize informa?on on seismic risk The informa?on available for risk assessment is not always prepared in terms that decision makers require.
Background Background Objec?ve and The informa?on generated by differing Wscope ork packages Management groups of specialists is frequently incompa?ble, leading to confusions among decision makers. There is a lack of informa?on on the possible benefits and costs of mi?ga?on and risk reduc?on measures that could be implemented
