Kyrgyz Seismic Network Kyrgyz Seismic Network Kyrgyz Seismic Network. The territory of Kyrgyzstan is characterized by high seismicity. About three thousand earthquakes occur on average each year with magnitude up to eight points. Therefore, seismic monitoring is of crucial importance to the country. The Kyrgyz Seismic Network, KNET, is the first regional continuous telemetric network of very broadband seismic data in Kyrgyzstan. This network was jointly developed by several institutions under Joint Seismic Program by Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS), which were: University of California, San Diego, the Kyrgyz Institute of Seismology, and the Russian Institute of High Temperature Physics. As a
Seismic risk condition. Acquiring and analyzing the specific data for an individual building or facility is one of the most expensive and daunting aspects of seismic risk estimation. Progress is made if one can calculate the 'fragility' or seismic capacity of the components within a structure. In 1999, ASTM produced guidelines for reporting seismic loss estimates on commercial properties, commonly known as Probable Maximum Loss or PML reviews. These guidelines specify the scope of work, qualifications of the reviewer, and proper nomenclature for reporting loss estimates. Seismic risk can be reduced by active programs that improve emergency response, and improve basic infrastructure.
