Post-Earthquake Geotechnical Assessment for Earthquake – Impacted Areas and Technical Support to the Shelter Cluster and Partner Actors in Afghanistan
This Geotechnical Analysis Report has been developed to provide Shelter Cluster implementing partners with Miyamoto’s final findings on landslide and volcanic hazards within the earthquake-impacted areas of the Barmal and Gayan districts of Paktika Province, and the Spera district of Khost Province, particularly in the areas that experienced “moderate” and above shaking based on the Modified Mercalli Index (MMI). These findings are based on qualitative data analysis. Field surveys of eighty-five (85) pre-selected locations across the survey area were conducted. The locations were selected to complement Multi-Sector Rapid Assessment System (MSRAF) communities with assessment locations selected to provide a sample across the most earthquake-impacted areas.
