  3. LISBON INDICATORS BY GIS LISBON IN NUMBERS (2011): • CITY AREA: 84,4 km2 • (2,8% of the Lisbon Region) • (7,5% flood hazard) • RESIDENT POPULATION: • 547.733 inhabitants • (19,3% of Lisbon Region population); • DURING DAY: one million people • POPULATION DENSITY 6463 inhabit/km2 • NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT: 32,7% • GDP:46% • BUILDINGS:52.496 • LODGINGS:323.076 Fonte: Atlas da AML 2003 e www.aml.pt

  5. LISBON'S CIVIL PROTECTION SERVICE LISBON CIVIL PROTECTION was created: • in 1985, after the 1983 floods • by resolution of the municipal council 331/AML/85 (November 28th) Praça Dom Pedro IV Rua do Comércio Rua de São Paulo

  6. LISBON'S CIVIL PROTECTION SERVICE MISSION The Civil Protection Department (CPD) is a service of the Lisbon Municipality, responsible for the management of the city during crisis and exceptional conditions, in articulation with the National and District Authorities for Civil Protection. • According to the Portuguese law, the main mission of CPD is the prevention of collective risks and their effects in case of disaster or accidentwith likelihood of occurrence inside the geographical limits of Lisbon city. www.cm-lisboa.pt

  7. LISBON'S CIVIL PROTECTION SERVICE CPD MANAGMENT CYCLE PREVENTION MITIGATION DAILY EMERGENCY RESPONSE RECOVERY

  8. EXPECTED RISKS IN LISBON CITY MULTI-RISK Intense precipitation or persistence of rainy days can cause urban flood events by the abnormal flux of pluvial waters. The Elevated Storm Surge combined with the High Astronomic Tide and moments of heavy rain are the principal causes of Lisbon floods. Other expected causes are the occurrence of a tsunami.These situations will be more dangerous in the lower parts of the city, near the Tagus Estuary.

  15. HISTORICAL SITUATIONS OF HEAVY RAIN THAT CAUSED FLOODS IN LISBON Lisbon had some episodes of severe storm weather situations with damages that should not be underestimated (like the tornado on the14th April 2010 and some flood situations). (G); (GC) - Meteorological Ground Stations

  16. PREVENTION MEASURES FORECASTING AND WARNING • Warning levels • Alert levels • For the weather - access to MM5 and WRF models running at IST • For Tide level and storm surge – access to the model used by FCUL

  17. PREVENTION MEASURES FLOODS VULNERABILITY study consist in:

  18. PREVENTION MEASURES • CROSSING INFORMATION WITH A GIS APPLICATION PRINCIPAL INTERFACE FLOOD HAZARD • INPUTS: • Precipitation data, IPMA • Tide – high water • Daily incidents, RSB • Sewer pipe cleaning/critical areas, DHU • Daily news • Slopes, hypsometry, hydrology, • geology, land use… • Storm surge, FCUL • Tsunami scenarios, FCUL-IST In update 2008 - university (IST) collaboration

  19. PREVENTION MEASURES Biblioteca Nacional MUNICIPALITY FIRE DEPARTMENTHISTORICAL FLOOD DATA 12.720 incidents (1972-2011) GEODATABASE • drainage problems • building's conservation problems • unknown reasons • other situations THE FUTURE BRINGS INCREASING FLOOD RISK!

  20. PREVENTION MEASURES • MAPPING SENSITIVE AREAS FLOODING VULNERABILITY TIDE LEVEL (5m)

  21. PREVENTION MEASURES • EMERGENCY PLANNING Municipal Emergency Plan (to be approved since 2012). This document defines the role of the Municipal Civil Protection System for the imminence or occurrence of a serious accident or disaster that affects the normal functioning of the city. http://cm-lisboa.pt/ EMERGENCY PLAN never was activated IN APPLICATION since 2012 • Municipal Master Plan (MMP) includes for the first time a map and an article that intends to implement measures to mitigate flood hazard. • http://pdm.cm-lisboa.pt/

  22. PREVENTION MEASURES TECHNICAL REPORTS some examples included in Local Land Use Plans, Urban Recovery Programs or other instruments (since 2009)

  23. PREVENTION MEASURES PROJECTS AND INTERNATIONAL NETWORK COLABORATION

  24. PREVENTION MEASURES CIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT 2013 http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2013/session/11836.

  25. PREVENTION MEASURES PUBLIC INFORMATION AND AWARENESS • Prepare and organize the population and the Civil Protection Volunteering • Spread the civil protection system’s mission and structure • Support to the development of internal security plans

  26. PREVENTION MEASURES PUBLIC INFORMATION TO THE COMMUNITY • Elaborate and prepare pedagogic and public publications • Support the definition of which wards or squares should be prioritized in public information campaigns

  28. PREVENTION MEASURES ELECTRONIC OUTDOOR PANELS HOW TO PREVENT HOW TO ACT These panels are situated around the city and spread information of self-protection measures, in case of risk situation such as floods, wind speed and gusts or heavy rain.

  29. FUTURE CHALLENGES THE FUTURE BRINGS INCREASING FLOOD RISK TO DIFFERENT CITIES. Lisbon isn’t different. • It´s urgent to invest in this area and work together with expertise, stakeholders deciders and the community. We must speak all the same language (European policies, laws, concepts, universally symbols/icons, methodologies …). • In the future, CPD must continue to integrate in an unique web platform data from different sources and linked to an integrated operational system of communications, supported by sms, cellular or satellite phones. • Other priorities are: • Approval the Municipal contingency plan for meteorological extreme conditions • Produce new interactive materials for public information and awareness • Support and participate in municipal, national and international programs, projects and studies like flooding by tsunamis. http://reliefweb.int/map/world/world-humanitarian-and-country-icons-2012

  30. CONCLUSION • Sharing and providing this information with different organizations, entities and investigators is the first step in order to give answers to daily emergency or to a Catastrophe that can occur in Lisbon. • In its desire to guarantee the safety and well-being of its inhabitants, Lisbon Municipal Council can intervene systematically in order to aware the population who will share responsibility and be capable of reproducing messages and behaviors that can contribute to the minimization of risk conditions.
