Class Earthquake

Object for storing data on the exposure to earthquakes

An Earthquake is a shaking of the earth's surface by energy waves emitted by slowly moving tectonic plates overcoming friction with one another underneath the earth's surface.

Using inherited data from the NatCatGeneral object as well as also including the distance to the nearest faultline, the estimated range of the richter scale that could occur, and the Radius object for stating how many earthquakes have occured in a given radius

Declaration
public Earthquake()

Properties

DesignatedFaultZone

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public bool? DesignatedFaultZone { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
bool?

A boolean stating whether the asset is within a USGS (United States Geological Survey) Eastern US designated fault zone or not.

DistanceToNearestFaultline

Source: QGIS

Declaration
[Source(Sources.QGIS)]
[Identifier(Identifiers.Geometry)]
public double DistanceToNearestFaultline { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
double

The distance from the asset to the nearest known faultline

FrackingRating

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? FrackingRating { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The rating of the exposure to earthquakes caused by fracking, used for creating a rag score

FrackingText

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? FrackingText { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The description of the exposure to earthquakes caused by fracking.

Mmi

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? Mmi { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The estimated Modified Mercalli Index Value. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMi) measures the intensity of an earthquake by observing its effect on people, the environment and the earth's surface rather than the energy released by an earthquake which is measured using the Richter scale.

PeakGroundAcceleration

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public int? PeakGroundAcceleration { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
int?

The maximum amount of peak ground acceleration expected in units of gravity per second.

PotentialDamage

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? PotentialDamage { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The damage estimate based on the magnitude of a potential earthquake.

PotentialRating

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? PotentialRating { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The rating based on the magnitude of a potential earthquake, used for creating a rag score.

Radius

Data describing the number of events in a given radius

An instance of the Radius object used for storing data on the number of earthquakes that have occured within a given radius to the asset

Declaration
public Radius? Radius { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
Radius

RichterScale

Source: HazardHubRisk

Declaration
[Source(Sources.HazardHubRisk)]
public string? RichterScale { get; set; }
Property Value
Type Description
string

The estimated range of magnitudes on the richter scale that a earthquake in the area could have
