Rapid impact assessments
Rapid impact assessments (RIAs) inform the public and emergency services about the expected impacts in the event of damaging earthquakes or quakes that can be felt over a wide area. The SED publishes rapid impact assessments after each earthquake with a magnitude of 3 or greater. Isolated damage is possible near the epicentre with quakes of around magnitude 4 or above.
The values given in the RIAs regarding the anticipated consequences of an earthquake are automatically generated based on assumptions derived from the earthquake risk model of Switzerland. The actual values may vary considerably under certain circumstances; therefore, all information is provided without warranty and is subject to change.
