AB: Geoscience Australia's Earthquake Risk Model (EQRM) is an event-based tool for earthquake scenario ground motion and scenario loss modeling as well as probabilistic seismic hazard (PSHA) and risk (PSRA) modeling. It has been used to conduct PSHA and PSRA for many of Australia's largest cities and it has become an important tool for the emergency management community which use it for scneario response planning. It has the potential to link with earthquake monitoring programs to provide automatic loss estimates from network recorded events. An open-source alpha-release version of the software is freely available on SourceForge. It can be used for hazard or risk analyses in any region of the world by supplying appropriately formatted input files. Source code is also supplied so advanced users can modify individual components to suit their needs.
