This is a poster for kids on earthquake protection measures, available in Greek and French.
In this study, an electromagnetic sensor is investigated to assess earthquakes in advance by collecting earthquake signals. At present, the mainstream earthquake magnitude prediction comprises two methods. This article proposes a CNN and designs a 3D feature-map which can be used to solve the problem of earthquake magnitude classification by combining t…
The purpose of this study is to review the state-of-the-art for RRE (Rapid Response to Earthquakes) systems, focusing first on the tools and methods that have been developed for shake-map computation (i.e., taking into account the seismic recordings as well as macroseismic observations when available), in order to provide a map of the ground shaking int…
The most critical input data for the calculation of the earthquake force on a structure are the spectral accelerations Ss and S1 which are obtained from maps. For building codes before 2012, these values are uniform hazard – all locations have the same probability of being exceeded. However, the codes since 2012 require Ss and S1 that are uniform risk –…
This publication contains 13 testimonies of those who were in Mexico in the front lines responding to the disaster from the health, education, culture, first response, international cooperation and reconstruction sectors. Around midnight on September 7, 2017, an earthquake measuring 8.2 on the Richter scale shook the States of Oaxaca and Chiapas in…
This study examines the effects of religious beliefs and customs on earthquake preparedness among the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community in Israel, a significant religious minority with unique social, cultural, and economic characteristics. To work effectively, emergency management systems that deal with earthquake threats must consider the needs of religi…
Based on a survey of 327 households in four districts and counties of Sichuan Province, China that were affected by the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes, the authors construct a framework for analyzing livelihood resilience and livelihood strategy selection. They comprehensively analyze the characteristics of livelihood resilience and livelihood strategy…
This study aims to examine the transition of victims’ residential preferences in Mashiki, Japan, post the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The Japanese government supplies post-disaster public housing (PDPH) to victims who are unable to rebuild homes damaged by a disaster. The efficient supply of PDPH requires an accurate prediction of housing demand, based on…
This report focuses on the Skenderija Complex in Sarajevo City Center. Built in 1969, the Skenderija Complex was conceived as a symbol of modern Yugoslavia – a sports, cultural and trade center in the heart of the city. Home to the 1984 Winter Olympics, the complex still holds important national significance. During the Bosnian War, the site suffered si…
Low and middle-income countries are bearing an increasing financial burden from the impacts of disasters as both the frequency and intensity of disaster events are rising. Despite the increasing availability of disaster data, many countries lack the capability to process, refine, and act upon this data. To address this challenge, the disaster risk finan…
This study supports the Portland International Airport to study the long-term benefits of investing in a seismically resilient runway. Oregon has a significant potential in the next 50 years of experiencing an earthquake greater than magnitude-8.7 originating from the Cascadia Subduction Zone.
Such an earthquake will cause catastrophic damage and…
Geohazards may result in the loss of human life, extensively damaged infrastructure, and suspended or disturbed traffic and services such as water and energy supply. Most geohazards are linked to climate activity such as rainfall and thawing of ice and snow or associated with earthquakes that cause large-scale ground movement independent of any und…
This report presents the hazards, exposures, and vulnerabilities that the ASEAN region is experiencing, and highlight strategies, including some related to climate change adaptation, to reduce disaster risk and increase resilience at the sub-national and national levels as well as in transboundary contexts. Climate change is an existential threat t…
