Thanks to the hundreds of people who sent suggestions. Here is the original question with a summary of the replies. I have only included those that I thought were useful for earthquake hazard assessment. In particular the FEMA, SAIC and AGSO sites had decent resources including some software. Sorry if I haven't included some replies, but this would have been a long message if I had. Thanks again John The Question: Does anyone know of any resources (web pages, journal articles, books) that relate to using GIS for earthquake hazard assessment or risk assessment. I would be very grateful for any ideas - my searches so far have found very little.
