SECA integrates two complementary pathways. SECA-GM uses a global formulation to estimate human and physical consequences at national or territorial scale. SECA-DM proportionally transfers the experience of comparable historical earthquakes to a study city. Both methods are part of the THEK ecosystem and support technical analysis, training, cooperation, licensing and applied development.
The SECA family provides complementary pathways according to scale, data availability and response time.
A global mathematical formulation derived from historical earthquake analysis, vulnerability factors, population, magnitude and depth.
A rapid method that transfers consequences observed in comparable historical earthquakes to a study city using population, physical inventory and magnitude adjustments.
SECA is connected to THEK research, documentation, laboratory and scientific-communication platforms.
THEK Research Institute, THEK Frontier, THEK Report and THEK Lab form the institutional environment for research, dissemination and applied development.
SECA connects with SERRA, FGET, VRR and NFF, strengthening seismic analysis and methodological development.
THEK Research Institute invites universities, governments, consulting firms, research centers and technical organizations to collaborate in the application, validation, dissemination and training associated with the SECA methods. Opportunities are open for scientific cooperation, licensing, institutional development and specialized courses.
