The Impact of Earthquakes on Pregnancy Outcomes: A Systematic Review
Pregnant women living in earthquake-affected areas face unique challenges that can impact both their health and the health of their babies. Recent research, particularly a systematic review and meta-analysis led by Fatih Aktoz, Ali Can Gunes, and Kayhan Yakin, has examined the effects of earthquake exposure on pregnancy outcomes. This article outlines their findings and highlights the need for more research in this area to better understand and mitigate the risks.

Parametric Insurance Startup: Earling
Earling, the a leading provider of short-term natural disaster risk systems, has the potential to impact both risk takers, such as insurance companies, and risk owners, including enterprises and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in the context of parametric insurance.
Impact on Risk Takers (Insurance Companies)
1. Data-Driven Underwriting: Earling's technology can provide insurers with accurate and timely seismic data, enabling them to underwrite parametric insurance policies more effectively[2][3].
Parametric Insurance Definition
In recent years, the insurance industry has witnessed a paradigm shift with the introduction of innovative products designed to offer more efficient and tailored coverage to individuals and businesses. One such innovation is parametric insurance, a concept that is gaining traction due to its unique approach to risk management. In this blog post, we'll delve into the definition of parametric insurance, its key features, advantages, and potential applications.
Parametric Insurance Example
In the event of flooding, sensors measure the water level on site and payment of the sum insured is triggered the moment the water reaches the predetermined depth.
New zealand earthquake modeling
In New Zealand, a region prone to seismic activity due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, advancements in seismic risk modeling play a critical role. The complex tectonic setting necessitates a comprehensive approach, considering factors such as fault lines, historical seismicity, and future event potential. Accurate seismic risk modeling empowers authorities, businesses, and individuals to implement effective preparedness measures, enhancing resilience against potential earthquakes.
Japan's Facilities that Help to Prepare based on Short-term Earthquake Risks
Japan has several facilities in place that can be activated during high-risk time-windows in anticipation of a major earthquake. These include:
Japan Short-term Earthquake Risk Models
Short-term seismic risk models are ultimate solution for predicting and mitigating the impact of earthquakes in the region. Our models have proven their accuracy by accurately detecting high-risk seismic time-windows for several major earthquakes in the past, including the 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck Fukushima on 03/16/2022, the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Honshu Island on 03/20/2021, the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that struck Fukushima on 02/13/2021, the 6.4 magnitude earthquake that struck Niigata Prefecture on 06/18/2019, and the Hokkaido earthquake on 09/05/2018.
Earling short-term seismic risk models vs traditioinal earthquake early warning systems
Business Overview
The short-term seismic risk models developed for Japan have the potential to greatly improve the government, business, and individual responses to major earthquakes. By issuing alerts a few days in advance, instead of just seconds, these models provide valuable extra time for people to prepare for an impending earthquake.
