- World Earthquake Intensity Zones
- Description: "The coverage as
produced by the United Nations Environmental Programme/Global Resource
Information Database (UNEP/GRID) shows earthquake intensity zones in
accordance with the 1956 version of the Modified Mercalli Scale (MM). The
source of this data set is "The World Map of Natural Hazards", Munich
Reinsurance Company - Geoscience Research Group (Munich Re). The intensity
describes exclusively the effects of an earthquake on the surface of the
earth and integrates numerous parameters (such as ground acceleration,
duration of an earthquake, subsoil effects). It also includes historical
earthquake reports. The risk grading is based on expectations for a period
of 50 years, corresponding to the mean service life of modern buildings."
