Description In this paper a simple methodology for estimating expected, regional seismic loss to the brick masonry buildings has been presented. The seismic loss estimation has been carried out for the districts of four states in India. This methodology integrates the information from various sources in a systematic way. The seismic loss values obtained would be useful in prioritising/mobilising the resources meant for earthquake risk management/relief operations etc. It is noted that the methodology proposed can include any improvements in the knowledge.
