The Global Earthquake Model (GEM) is a global collaborative effort that brings together national, regional and international organisations, as well as individuals, in order to develop state-of-the-art models and tools for analyzing earthquake hazard, risks and socio-economic impacts associated to earthquakes. On September 15th 2010, GEM has launched an online peer-review of its draft Request for Proposal (RfP) for the modelling of socio-economic impacts (SEI) of earthquakes. This review offers an opportunity to researchers, potential users and stakeholders to provide comments, and express their ideas on methods for the assessment of the social and economic consequences of earthquakes before the actual RfP is released. GEM invites you to participate in the review process.
