To losses, a damage assessment model needed. As hazard depends kind crops thickness, fragility function should represent relation between thickness rate crops. using for each crop RiskScape. calculated output price function. This paper also represents estimated result Gangwon province, which most likely get ashes Korea. According gross province 2010, runs nearly 635,124 million wons Korean currency accumulated over four millimeters. about 50% province. We consider only paper. However, fall has potential assets farm, including fertility installations. total whole sectors, these collateral damages considered.
