Several observational pieces of evidence gathered from global historical large‐magnitude seismic events suggested a spatial correlation between the strength of ground shaking (e.g., the PGV) and the degree of structural damage. Upon studying the 1995 Hyogo‐ken Nanbu (Kobe) earthquake, Kawase...

However, the Kobe earthquake (1995) indicated that the risk of conflagrations following major earthquakes remains, even in modern cities in Japan. Forty-four of the fires began immediately after the earthquake and developed into large-scale...
