  2. KAZAKSTANCOPING WITH EARTHQUAKE RISK IN AN AREA OF CONTINENTIAL COLLISION

  3. LOCATION OF KAZAKHSTAN

  4. THE M8.4 CHILIK EARTHQUAKE OF JULY 31, 1889 • One of the world’s largest historic intraplate reverse-faulting events. • Many landslides occurred in the region of the Chilik and Charyn rivers and in the mountains..

  7. TO BECOME EARTHQUAKE DISASTER RESILIENT IS THE CHALLENGE

  8. HAZARDS EXPOSURE VULNERABILITY LOCATION ELEMENTS OF RISK RISK

  9. RISK ASSESSMENT FOR A COMMUNITY RISK = HAZARD x EXPOSURE SPECIFIC HAZARD: EXPOSURE: PEOPLE BUILDING STOCK INFRASTRUCTURE GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

  10. FOUR PILLARS OF RESILIENCE • NATURAL HAZARDS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATION • PREPAREDNESS • PROTECTION • EMERGENCY RESPONSE • RECOVERY IENCE RISK ASSESSMENT ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK GOAL: DISASTER RESILIENCE DATA BASES AND INFORMATION COMMUNITY HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

  11. A DISASTER OCCURS WHEN THE NATIONAL POLICIES ALLOW IT TO BE … UN—PREPARED UN—PROTECTED UN—ABLE TO RESPOND EFFECTIVELY UN (NON)--RESILIENT

  12. THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE 1. PREPAREDNESS(HAZARD, VULNERABILITY, AND RISK ASSESSMENTS; PREDICTIONS, FORECASTS AND WARNING; DISASTER PLANNING SCENARIOS; INSURANCE; INTELLIGENT COMMUNITY); …
