Civil Protection Authorities SIBYL will endeavor to interact with Federal Agency for Technical Relief (Germany) Federal Agency for Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (Germany) National Service of Civil Protection (Italy) General Secretariat for Civil Protection (Greece) SIBYL SeIsmic monitoring and vulneraBilitY framework for civiL protection
The Aim of SIBYL SIBYL’s aim is to develop an operational framework for Civil Protection (CP) authorities to rapidly and cost-effectively assess the seismic vulnerability of the built environment. • Such a framework will advise CP authorities as to the most appropriate preventative actions for cases where: • There is a need for short-notice vulnerability assessment in a pre-event situation. • For the monitoring of the build environment’s dynamic vulnerability during a seismic sequence.

What is the problem? The occurrence of seismic swarms or foreshocks require CP authorities to rapidly assess the threatened area’s vulnerability. • Especially important for areas with little or no data about the vulnerability, seismic hazard, etc.. • Need for real-time information as the crises unfolds. • This leads to the potential for dynamic tagging of structures that become unsafe. • Such information will advise populations regarding their return to homes, and to plan emergency accommodation. However, state-of-the-art data acquisition methods generally costly and expertise intensive. SIBYL SeIsmic monitoring and vulneraBilitY framework for civiL protection

Most important deliverables from SIBYL • Guidelines for the remote-sensing assessment methodology. • Guidelines for the mobile mapping system and remote rapid visual screening. • Software platform including processing tools • Guidelines for building assessment procedures and short-term monitoring. • Guidelines for undertaking site-effect surveys. • Guidelines for the assessment of time-variant seismic risk of monitored single structures. • Training materials for the use of the developed framework and tools.

Planned meetings, reports, events • EC ECHO Kick-off-meeting (Brussels, Belgium, 20.01.2015). • Preliminary planning and technical meeting (Potsdam, Germany, 28.01.2015). • Mid-term meeting (Thessaloniki, Greece, December 2015). • Final meeting (Potsdam, Germany, December, 2016). • (note CP representatives will be invited to all project meetings where there will be opportunities for training on the developed framework). • Technical reports (months 8, 16, 24 - final). • Dissemination meetings of most interest include the Geobeirat Stadt Köln and the European Seismological Commission (2016).

Expected follow-up • The developed framework will be expanded in terms of a number of features to make it more widely exploitable. • These include: • The types of buildings and infrastructure it may be employed to (e.g., bridges, industrial facilities, etc.). • Different types of hazards (e.g., storms, floods). • Consideration of multi-hazard and risk (implicit consideration of interactions, cascading events). • Adaption to different natural and human environments.
