Ghana faces a very low range of perennial natural hazards but high catastrophe due to the lack of proper planning and preparedness. Floods, drought/famine, landslides, fires, climate change, and sporadically earthquakes are some natural hazards that

The seismotectonics of Western Africa show the occurrence of major earthquakes (e.g., 1636 southwestern Ghana, 1855 offshore Monrovia, 1939 offshore Accra, and 1983 Gaoual-Guinea) and prominent offshore transform faults. However, there is no analysis

Although probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) has been carried out in a few countries in West Africa (WA), large-scale PSHA is still lacking in the region. Dearth of earthquake data, sparse or complete absence of a network of seismographic

In 1939, Ghana experienced its severest earthquake with a local magnitude of 6.5. It resulted in the death of 17 people and caused significant damage to property. Since then, there have been reported occurrences of earthquakes, though the region is g

A large part of Accra is underlain by a complex distribution of shallow soft soils. Within seismically active zones, these soils hold the most potential to significantly amplify seismic waves and cause severe damage, especially to structures sited on

Ghana is situated on the West Africa Craton and far away from any plate boundary. However, the southern part of the country is seismically active. The continental and coastal area of southeast Ghana is dominated by the Akwapim fault zone and coastal
