This was a unique mix of catastrophe modelers, underwriters, and earthquake scientists sat together to share recent developments and future paths.</p> <p>The poster presents a framework for integrating physics-based ground motion simulations into regional seismic risk workflows — with Vancouver&rsquo;s tall building portfolio under an M9 Cascadia subduction zone scenario as the test case.</p> <p>Tall buildings represent just 1.4% of the region&rsquo;s building stock but nearly 14% of its total replacement value. Getting accurate hazard estimates for this exposure matters for insurers, for city planners, and for the people who live in these buildings.</p> <p>The poster outlines three pathways of increasing fidelity for connecting physics-based hazard estimates to portfolio loss metrics, and points toward future work benchmarking their outputs against each other.</p>
