A Country Facing a High Seismic Risk
Abstract
Lebanon is a country characterized by a low to moderate seismicity and the presence of major faults which have generated devastating historic earthquakes. Several factors have turned Lebanon into one of the most exposed Mediterranean countries when it comes to seismic risks: extremely marked urbanization on the coastal strip, including in Beirut where more than 40% of the Lebanese population lives and where most of the economic, political and administrative activities are concentrated, and a...
