National and international standards, protocols and good practice guidelines for a-priori seismic risk assessment, monitoring and risk mitigation are critically important to enhance the safety of future projects, to spread good practice throughout the industry and to define a reliable and robust regulatory framework that regulators, operators and investors can refer to. DEEP will develop the next generation of these instruments.
