The Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP), a demonstration project of the UN/International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction, was conducted in the 1992-1998 period with the goal of improving global standards in seismic hazard assessment. The GSHAP Global Seismic Hazard Map has been compiled by joining the regional maps produced for different GSHAP regions and test areas; it depicts the global seismic hazard as Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) with a 10% chance of exceedance in 50 years, corresponding to a return period of 475 years.

The early warning can constantly improve the monitoring and management of the hazardous sources to realize advance prevention and control. Many early warning methods do not predict and imitate the hazard sequel and the early warning information in incomplete. This essay analyzes and studies the early warning process of the hazardous sources, hazard assessment techniques and analyzes the hazardous sources quantitatively and qualitatively. This essay combines effectively the imitation of the hazard sequel and the early warning technology, proposes hazardous sources security early warning procedure information processing system structure and designs models for processing early warning information of the hazardous sources, improving the early warning of the hazardous sources and increasing the accuracy and efficiency of the prior warning. Combining with cases, it performs imitation of the hazard sequel of leakage accident. Practices have shown that the proposed imitated early warning structure and methods are efficient. The imitation result is nearly matched with the fact. The early warning gets satisfied effect having certain practical value.

Seismic Hazard Map

<p>Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program - or simply GSHAP, when launched, almost two decades ago, aimed at establishing a common framework to evaluate the seismic hazard over geographical large-scales, i.e. countries, regions, continents and finally the globe. Its main product, the global seismic hazard map was a milestone, unique at that time and for a decade have served as the main reference worldwide. Today, for most of the Earth’s seismically active regions such Europe, Northern and Southern America, Central and South-East Asia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the GSHAP seismic hazard map is outdated. The rapid increase of the new data, advance on the earthquake process knowledge, technological progress, both hardware and software, contributed all in updates of the seismic hazard models. We present herein, a short retrospective overview of the achievements as well as the pitfalls of the GSHAP. Further, we describe the next generation of seismic hazard models, as elaborated within the Global Earthquake Model, regional programs: the 2013 European Seismic Hazard Model, the 2014 Earthquake Model for Middle East, and the 2015 Earthquake Model of Central Asia. Later, the main characteristics of these regional models are summarized and the new datasets fully harmonized across national borders are illustrated for the first time after the GSHAP completion.</p>
