"Nearly everyone is familiar with the Richter Scale for quantifying
earthquake severity. Can we similarly quantify the potential hazard of
active SETI, that is, transmitting signals into space from Earth? The
San Marino Scale is an attempt to do just that. It is an ordinal scale
between one and ten, used to quantify the potential risk of employing
electromagnetic communications technology to announce Earth's presence
to our cosmic companions, or to reply to a successful SETI detection...
The concept was first proposed in the Republic of San Marino (hence its
name) by Iván Almár"
