We studied the earthquake mortality rates for more than 4,500 worldwide earthquakes since 1973 and developed an empirical country- and region-specific earthquake vulnerability model to be used as a candidate for post-earthquake fatality estimation by the U.S. Geological Survey's Prompt Assessment of Global Earthquakes for Response (PAGER) system.
