[GRASS-user] Seismic Hazard Mapping anyone?

Hello GRASSusers,

I’m interested in seeing if anyone is using GRASS in the area of liquefaction and landslide hazards (or better yet, earthquake induced landslide hazard) mapping?

Regards,
Bob

I developed a probabilistic landslide model for the southern East Bay
hills (Fremont, Union City, Milpitas) several years ago (not EQ
induced). I lost it and a lot of other code in a disk failure and lack
of recent backups (my bad), but I could recreate a good portion of it
from memory.

I have not attempted liquefaction, yet.

You may also want to try to obtain old HAZUS (pre HAZUS-MH) software for
GRASS 5.x. They no longer update or support GRASS and aside from
developers, my experience has been that FEMA is generally clueless.
USGS may also share their models as they do not use HAZUS.

I am interested in seeing if I can implement some of our workflows in GRASS and seeing if there are others interested in Seismic Hazard Mapping as well as seeing what others have done. So, I am interested in your landslide model. Btw, I am hoping that this project will show that there is a place for FOSS at my workplace.
