The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Prompt Assessment of Global
Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system, operational since mid
2007, rapidly estimates the most affected locations and the
population exposure at different levels of shaking intensities. The
PAGER system has significantly improved the way aid agencies
determine the scale response needed in the aftermath of an
earthquake. Some engineering and seismological expertise is often
required to digest PAGER's exposure estimate and turn it into
estimated fatalities and economic losses. This has been the focus
of PAGER's most recent developments. This book discusses the
estimated economic consequences of large earthquakes along with an
appendix of earthquake data.
