My Safety Index

What Is The OpenHazards Safety Index?

The amount of damage a particular home can be expected to experience in a future time frame depends on many factors:

• The location and magnitude of future earthquakes
• The expected amount and severity of ground shaking
• Specific details of the home construction

The OpenHazards Safety Index is a single number representing the "safety" of a home or the likelihood that the home will experience significant structural damage in the next year.  We've designed it to be similar to a financial Credit Score, with higher Safety Indicies indicating higher resistance to seismic hazard.

The Safety Index is calculating by estimating the likely affect of earthquakes anywhere in the world on a specific home.  The higher the value, the safer the home!
