  1. CIMNE International Center forNumericalMethods in Engineering Public RTD CeciliaSoriano - RTD Manager Email: csoriano@cimne.upc.edu SC7 TOPIC - DRS-7-2014 (DRS9??) Crisis and disaster resilience - operationalizing resilience concepts

  2. Project Idea: Development of Adaptation/Prevention Plans for multi-hazard risk-prone areas (cities) Assessment, risk prediction or mitigation plans for different physical phenomena are sometimes similar and other are specific. geographical areas: coastal, mountain… economic strategic activity: civil infrastr., cities, industrial areas • Purpose: • Promote good practices (guide) • Share best action for effective implementation • Avoid potential contradictions of regulations • Identify axes for new development • Methodology: • Analyze European recent hazard events (flooding, severe weather, earthquakes, slides, accidents…) • Quantify resilience from different points of view (damages, loss, economic cost..) • Consider resilience in risk scenario • Apply risk and resilience methodology to specific case studies Cecilia Soriano - RTD Manager Email: csoriano@cimne.upc.edu

  3. Vulnerability and risk studies (holistic risk approach) • Development and use of indicators &indices, • Probabilistic modeling of hazards • Development of urban risk scenarios • Economic evaluations for risk transfer and financial protection • Management of uncertainties by means of Monte Carlo tests • Decision Support Systems (DSS) • Integration of data from wireless sensors networks/ multi-origin Expertise & contribution Involved in FP7 EC Projects SERGISAI, VAB, RISK-UE, RAMFLOOD, LESSLOSS, DESURBS and MOVE CIMNE participates in important projects in the field of disaster risk evaluation and management funded by the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction of United Nations (UN-ISDR). The Consortium • Several EU RTDs leaders in risk/resilience assessment • Relevant stakeholders • Telecommunications… We would like to add… • Experts in climate change scenarios • Community/society resilience • Other RTD members with commitment from relevant end-users in new pilot sites • ….
