Vulnerability is defined as the degree of damage (or loss) due to shaking of a given intensity. The text of the MSK macroseismic scale describing individual intensity grades determines vulnerability functions for three main categories of structures. The resulting curves are compared with the few exi

The recently published Iraqi earthquake data file over the period 1905-1984 is used to derive a local lo-M s formula. This is then combined with a local intensity attenuation relationship to compile the observed I o (MM) zoning map for Iraq. Earthquake risk is calculated using the log N (M,) relatio
Subsequent to the publication of Figure 2 of the above-cited paper and during an investigation (by the first author) of possible large intraplate earthquake occurrences within the Middle East, my attention was drawn to the exceptionally peculiar isolated but large intensity closure centered just nor
