Additional Supporting Materials by Country


During the various phases of the project, participants have provided articles and reports that help explain the construction types in their countries, as well as the vulnerabilities associated with these construction types. In addition, some participants as well as USGS staff have identified websites that provide information on construction types and/or occupancies.  The table below lists these materials by country:
