EMME14 Hazard Computation Input

The seismic hazard for the EMME region was computed using OpenQuake (Pagani et al 2014). The use of OpenQuake implies the definition of the input files in a standard file format: the Natural hazards and Risk Mark-up Language (NRML). The EMME source models consists of various source representation, including point, area, simple and complex faults, all parameterized according to the OpenQuake Manual (available here). Please consult the OpenQuake Manual for further information related to the input source file. Note that the following files were prepared for OpenQuake (version v1.5).
