Canada</a> has been a public sector partner since 2017,
working with researchers and practitioners from across the
public, academic, and private sectors to advance
capabilities for catastrophic risk modeling and to
co-develop a National Earthquake Risk Profile for launch

two day training will cover the theory behind the use of
the OpenQuake engine for seismic hazard and risk
analyses, as well as practical examples from Eastern
Canada. The training will empower users from broad
backgrounds to conduct analyses in their own regions,
for seismic and volcanic perils, both for baseline
conditions and for different risk mitigation
strategies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
