Resumen:

In this work we present the estimation of losses for all hospitals in Mexico based on a full probabilistic risk assessment methodology for earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes. Results, shown in GIS maps and tables, exhibit clearly hazard and vulnerability differences for all hospitals built in Mexico. These results are being used by the health authorities to prioritize mitigation efforts. Results for the whole portfolio are also been used to better manage insurance contracts.
