    “The study reveals that the United States faces $15.8 billion per year in average annualized earthquake losses - an increase of about 7% since the 2023 update, largely driven by rising property values and growth in hazard prone areas. Yet the message is not all caution: modern seismic codes are working, with states like California seeing ~15% reductions in expected losses thanks to improved building practices.
    This update incorporates the 2023 USGS National Seismic Hazard Model, new population and building stock data, and advancements in HAZUS 6.1, offering communities a clearer picture of where risk is rising—and where targeted mitigation, such as retrofitting older unreinforced masonry and non ductile concrete buildings, can deliver substantial benefits.
    BOTTOM LINE: Earthquake risk is evolving, but smarter design, science-informed planning, and focused mitigation continue to shift the nation toward greater resilience…”

    I'm going to take advantage of the current #eruption on Mt #Etna to discuss some of the challenges of #modelling #lava flows. Buckle up (or just silence me) because this is going to be a long thread.

    First of all, why do we want to model lava flows? The answer most definitely isn't «because we can», since —as I'm going to explain momentarily— we actually cannot. Still having an idea about how lava flows and sets in place is a powerful tool for the assessment (and possibly mitigation) of the associated #hazard and #risk: if we can tell how lava flows, we can tell which areas are going to be reached by the lava, and hopefully also improve the design of tactical and strategic actions that can be taken to minimize the damage.

    (Of course, whether or not those actions will then be taken is an entirely different matter, but that's mostly politics, not science.)
