The importance of this research is highlighted, both nationally and internationally, by the work of the insurance industry which reported that the economic risk posed by a moderate earthquake in any of the capital cities in Australia is of the order of billions of dollars (Blong, 1993). For example, a 'design magnitude' earthquake in Sydney is predicted to cause, just in domestic construction, over $10 billion damage and more than 5000 deaths. Most of this damage would be associated with unreinforced masonry construction such as low-rise apartment buildings. The damage bill for the entire built environment (with business interruption costs) could easily be an order of magnitude greater.

保险业的工作突显了这项研究在国内和国际上的重要性，该行业报告称，澳大利亚任何一个首府城市发生中等地震所造成的经济风险都在数十亿美元左右(Blong，1993)。例如，据预测，悉尼的一次设计震级地震仅在国内建筑业就会造成超过100亿美元的损失和超过5000人的死亡。这些损坏大多与低层公寓楼等未加固的砖石结构有关。整个建筑环境的破坏账单(加上业务中断成本)很容易就会高出一个数量级。
