Background material
The Earthquakes without Frontiers proposal was based on two reports, one based on a scoping study ‘Building Rural Resilience in Seismically Active Areas“, the other based on a workshop ‘What Works and Does not Work in the Science and Social Science of Earthquake Vulnerability?‘
These documents together provide a background to the EwF project.
