SCENARIO OVERVIEW
Afghanistan is located in a seismically active region, and earthquakes pose a significant threat to many parts of the country, including a number of densely populated urban areas. In the last 10 years, more than 7,000 people have lost their lives because of earthquakes in Afghanistan, with an average of 560 fatalities per year. Of the potentially active faults, it is projected that the Chaman fault, the Hari Rud fault, the Central Badakhshan fault and the Darvaz fault present the greatest seismic risk.

SCENARIO OVERVIEW
Afghanistan is located in a seismically active region, and earthquakes pose a significant threat to many parts of the country, including a number of densely populated urban areas. In the last 10 years, more than 7,000 people have lost their lives because of earthquakes in Afghanistan, with an average of 560 fatalities per year. Of the potentially active faults, it is projected that the Chaman fault, the Hari Rud fault, the Central Badakhshan fault and the Darvaz fault present the greatest seismic risk.
Each of these faults is capable of producing 7 or 8 Magnitude earthquakes. However, in seismic regions it is also possible that there are other undiscovered faults that may pose additional risk, as was the case with the Christchurch Earthquake in New Zealand.
