Subject: Assessments of Probable Maximum Losses (PML) to insured domestic dwellings have been made for the Perth area (ICA Zone 22) using the model developed to estimate earthquake losses in Melbourne. Insured values and construction data for nearly 290,000 dwellings were provided by 16 insurers. This sample represents about 70% of the dwellings in Zone 22. Because classification of some of the deposits in the Perth basin in terms of ground shaking potential is not a simple matter, two models have been developed. For Model 1, 86% of dwellings in ICA Zone 22 lie in Earthquake Hazard Zone 3. For Model 2, 84% of dwellings lie in Zone 4
