The Earthquake Industry
View through CrossRef
A recent study of the ethical implications of working in the earthquake field featured three dozen ethical scenarios, most of which posed the issue of failing to disclose earthquake risks or inadequately promoting seismic risk reduction. In that study, a common ethical issue was never mentioned, namely that “the earthquake community” is also “the earthquake industry.” Most of us who work in the earthquake field have public interest and self-interest motives, and a full discussion of ethical issues requires that we talk about both.
