Earthquake Scenario Data

The National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue presents the probable shaking, damage loss and consequences, such as potential building damages and injuries, from hypothetical earthquakes that could impact Canadians. Earthquake scenario data is available through the Open Disaster Risk Reduction (OpenDRR) website here. More information about earthquake scenario risk concepts can be found here and more information about how the data was generated can be found here.

Probabilistic Earthquake Risk Data

Probabilistic earthquake risk data presents consequences, including economic loss, casualties and building damages, that could be expected from earthquakes at all neighborhoods in Canada. Probabilistic earthquake risk data is available through the Open Disaster Risk Reduction (OpenDRR) website here. More information about probabilistic earthquake risk concepts can be found here and more information about how the data was generated can be found here.

National Human Settlement Layer (NHSL)

• The National Human Settlement Layer is a collection of datasets that describe the physical and social characteristics of communities across Canada in the context of their vulnerability to natural hazards. These datasets are key inputs into NRCan’s National Seismic Risk Model. Background information, physical exposure datasets, and social fabric datasets can be found here.
