Although a seismic hazard assessment identifies a spatial distribution of strong ground motions and predicts the exceedance of a certain level of ground motions for a certain period of time with a prescribed probability, it does not answer an important questions required for disaster risk management: when does a big earthquake occur? Meanwhile, even current level of earthquake prediction capacity can be useful for seismic risk assessment and disaster preparedness (Davis, 2012) . Disaster risk is associated with a potential loss of life, injury, damaged assets, which could occur to a community/ society in a specific period of time, determined probabilistically as a function of four indicators: hazard, exposure, vulnerability, and capacity (UNGA, 2016). ./cache/cord-031879-6lx637rd.txt ./txt/cord-031879-6lx637rd.txt
