THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE Part 2: Protection

1. THE FIVE PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCEPart 2: Protection Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction, Vienna, Virginia, USA 

2. DISASTER RESILIENCE IS A FAILED POLICY WITHOUT THE ADOPTION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FIVE INTEGRATED POLICIES (i.e., The Five Pillars of Disaster Resilience)

3. PREPAREDNESS • PROTECTION • EARLY WARNING • EM RESPONSE • RECOVERY 5 PILLARS OF DISASTER RESILIENCE ACCEPTABLE RISK RISK UNACCEPTABLE RISK BOOKS OF KNOWLEDGE • MONITORING • HAZARD MAPS • INVENTORY • VULNERABILITY • LOCATIONR DATA BASES AND INFORMATION YOUR NATION HAZARDS: GROUND SHAKING GROUND FAILURE SURFACE FAULTING TECTONIC DEFORMATION TSUNAMI RUN UP AFTERSHOCKS

4. PROTECTION OF IMPORTANT BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE IS AN ESSENTIAL PILLAR OF DISASTER RESILIENCE

5. THE GOAL DISASTER RESILIENCE: DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY CAPABILITIES OF COMMUNITY

6. REALITY LACK OF DISASTER RESILIENCE INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION OF COMMUNITY BLDGS. & INFRASTRUCTURE UNANTICIPATED DEMANDS ON COMMUNITY

7. WHAT IS PROTECTION? (Protection is a mandated state of robustness, strength, and ductility for important buildings and essential - critical infrastructure to prevent loss of function when a natural hazard ocurs

8. THE STATE-OF-PROTECTION IN A COMMUNITY INCREASES AS A COMMUNITY’S CAPABILITY TO ANTICIPATE WHAT WILL HAPPEN INCREASES

9. WHAT IS PREPAREDNESS? (Preparedness is a state of readiness on individual, urban, sub-regional, and national scales that is sufficient to keep the disaster agents of a natural hazard from causing a disaster

10. THE STATE-OF-READINESS IN A COMMUNITY INCREASES AS A COMMUNITY’S CAPABILITY TO ANTICIPATE WHAT WILL HAPPEN INCREASES

11. ANY COMMUNITY CAN INCREASE ITS STATE-OF-PROTECTION AGAINST THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF ANY NATURAL HAZARD

12. ALL “PROTECTION ACTIVITIES” RELY ON CAPABILITY TO ANTICIPATE • HAZARD AND RISK ZONATION (INUNDATION, GROUND SHAKING, AND HIGH-VELOCITY WIND FIELDS) • URBAN PLANNING (AVOIDANCE) • CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATING BUILDING CODES AND LIFELINE STANDARDS • SITE-SPECIFIC DESIGN

13. ALL “PROTECTION ACTIVITIES” RELY ON CAPABILITY TO ANTICIPATE • ACTIVE AND PASSIVE ENERGY DISSIPATION DEVICES (e.g., BASE ISOLATION) • PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR BASIC, ESSENTIAL, AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE)…

14. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED? • THE NATURAL HAZARD (S) THAT IS/ARE MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR? • WHERE AND WHEN WILL IT/THEY OCCUR? • HOW STRONG WILL THE POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS OF EACH HAZARD BE?

15. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED (Continued)? • WHAT KINDS OF BUILDINGS ARE AT RISK? • WHAT KINDS OF BASIC, ESSENTIAL, AND CRITICAL INFRA-STRUCTURE ARE AT RISK? • WHAT ARE THEIR PHYSICAL VUL-NERABILITIES

16. WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANTICIPATED (Continued)? • WHAT ARE THE LIKELY SOCIAL VUL-NERABILITIES • WHAT IS THE LIKELY DAMAGE DISTRIBUTION? • WHAT ARE THE LIKELY CASUALTIES, SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS?

17. BUILDINGS NEEDING PROTECTION? • HIGH-RISES • SCHOOLS • HOSPITALS • MILITARY INSTALLATIONS • THE CAPITOL • THE LEGISLATURE • TH PRESIDENTIAL PALACE

18. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDING PROTECTION • UTILITY SYSTEMS (GAS, POWER, WATER) • SEWAGE SYSTEMS • PIPELINES • TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (HIGHWAYS, BRIDGES, TRANSIT, AIRPORTS, …)

19. INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDING PROTECTEION • COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS • LEVEES AND DAMS • POWER PLANTS • NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS • HAZ MAT STORAGE TANKS

20. POTENTIAL DISASTER AGENTS TO PROTECT AGAINST • INUNDATION • STRONG WIND FIELD • STRONG GROUND SHAKING • LIQUEFACTION • LANDSLIDES • FIRE
