Scientific-research project within the framework of the Scientific and Technological Agreement between the Government of Montenegro and the Government of the Republic of Italy for period 2022-2025.

EXPLORA project will contribute to the development of a suitable exposure model for ordinary buildings in Montenegro and to the updated seismic risk assessment for the country. An innovative integrated multi-level survey approach will be implemented and applied in pilot municipalities, allowing to assemble building inventory according to relevant up-to-date vulnerability models. The results of integrated multi-level survey approach in the pilot municipalities will be used to expand the inventory at the national level. The updated exposure model could be usefully combined with recent vulnerability and hazard models towards a next generation NRA for Montenegro. Project results will be disseminated among relevant stakeholders stimulating policy-makers towards seismic risk reduction and attracting industrial and construction sectors for useful investments in retrofitting techniques.
