Estimation of Seismic Risk at Fire Stations in Lima City and Callao Region

In this article, an estimation of seismic risk is established for 40 stations in the city of Lima and Callao, Peru. Technical information was collected from each of the stations and collected in a statistical database. And then, a) the structural fragility and vulnerability were determined, and b) the seismic hazard; for the first aspect, the HAZUS methodology (FEMA) was used, and for the second, the attenuation laws were adapted to the seismic and geographical reality of Peru. The important results, and for each station or structure, are: 1) the point of seismic performance, as a basis for estimating the percentage of structural damage, and 2) estimation of economic losses after a determined seismic event
