Dubai's solutions to transfer its earthquake risks
Earthquake risk transfer for Dubai
Dubai is located in a relatively low seismic hazard area, however, it is still susceptible to earthquakes that occur in the nearby region, particularly in the south of Iran. Short-term earthquake risk models can help to detect high-risk time-windows for major earthquakes, which can aid in the preparation and mitigation of their impacts.
