Construction
• Using the same method we can estimate
what the reduction in damages would have
been if the best construction practices were
in place in all homes.
• Potential damage reduction, based on this
method, would have been as much as $46
million or 25% less than the permit value of
$182 million
Potential Economic Impact of
Better Construction
• Another useful comparison is to look

used to downscale over Iceland the 6-hourly analysis of the ECMWF over a pe-
riod of 46 years. A systematic comparison with observed precipitation for the
sub-period 1987–2003 has been presented as well as comparison of simulated
discharge with observed discharge. The main results are:

intrusion were M1.9 at 01:03 and M1.8 at 08:46 this morning under Dyngjujökull. Around 25 events have been detected in the intrusion during the last 24 hours.
Minor activity was measured around Herðurbreið, Askja and Tungnafellsjökull, as well as on the Loki ridge between Hamarinn and Grímsvötn.
The fissure eruption in Holuhraun has been well visible on cameras throughout the last days and nights
