  1. Increased Resilience of Critical Infrastructure under Natural and Human- induced Hazards INFRA-NAT CIVIL PROTECTIONPREPAREDNESS AND PREVENTION SCHEME 2017KICK-OFF MEETING BRUSSELS 24-01-2018 Dr. Ricardo Monteiro ricardo.monteiro@eucentre.it

  2. Consortium • DG ECHO scheme – 2017 – Prevention–External budget • Consortium: EUCENTRE (Coordinator), IZIIS, YaronOffir Engineers (YOE) • Endorsed by: Italian, FYROM and Isreali Civil Protection Departments • EC financial contribution requested: • 572,129 EUR (=75% of total eligible costs) • Duration: 24 months • Starting date: January 2018

  3. Increased Resilience of Critical Infrastructure under Natural and Human- induced Hazards • FYROM • Israel • Italy

  4. Consortium EUCENTRE – EC Contribution €288,723 • Promotes and support research and education in the field of seismology, geology, geotechnical engineering, hazard and risk assessment, flooding vulnerability assessment, ecological approaches and emergency management, Re-insurance market IZIIS – EC Contribution €114,921 • The Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (IZIIS) was founded in 1965 after the 1963 Skopje catastrophic earthquake, with extensive support given by UNESCO • Train engineers to become earthquake professionals and organize international post-graduate studies YOE – EC Contribution €168,485 • Leading engineering firm which specializes in advanced risk evaluation, assessment, design and retrofit under seismic and other dynamic loading • Founded in 2003 to form a basis of knowledge and expertise in the practice of seismic and dynamic engineering in Israel

  5. Background and Scope • Reliable transportation of people and goods and a functioning infrastructure network during emergencies are important aspects for the European community • Bridges represent a critical aspect in every region as they provide reliable modes of transportation throughout the continent • Seismic vulnerability– ensure bridges do not collapse and are usable during the aftermath for relief efforts (e.g. access to hospitals, aid to be dispatched) • Most bridges were constructed prior to the 1970’s, primarily in the construction boom that followed the war in Europe –Ageing and deterioration effects

  6. Background and Scope • Reliable transportation of people and goods and a functioning infrastructure network during emergencies are important aspects for the European community • Bridges represent a critical aspect in every region as they provide reliable modes of transportation throughout the continent • Seismic vulnerability– ensure bridges do not collapse and are usable during the aftermath for relief efforts (e.g. access to hospitals, aid to be dispatched) • Most bridges were constructed prior to the 1970’s, primarily in the construction boom that followed the war in Europe –Ageing and deterioration effects • An approach to consider multiple hazards is needed when assessing the vulnerability of bridge infrastructure • INFRA-NAT addresses the mitigation of risk related to both seismic and ageing/deterioration hazards • Geographical and scientific privileged combination in Italy, FYROM and Israel

  7. Main goals • Combine currently existing hazard models in the three countries • Collect and harmonise full exposure databases of the existing bridges • Characterise direct physical vulnerability and indirect losses • Integrate all information and tools within a Web-Based Platform (WBP) Expected results • Collection of exposure and vulnerability data on critical infrastructure for the territory of the three directly involved countries (improved knowledge of critical infrastructure) • Increased awareness to natural hazards and changes in the properties of existing critical infrastructure essential to the success of emergency response strategies (including exchange of good practice, examples, and sharing of methods and experiences with other European countries)

  8. Project overview

  10. Deliverables

  11. Major events

  12. Follow up • The risk model is continuously changing: • - hazard can be further characterized/updated • - exposure can be extended to recent bridges • - vulnerability can include full indirect losses • Extend the pilot studies to other regions in the countries • Include all types of critical bridge infrastructure • Potentiate legal and risk governance framework • Adapt the WBP to other natural hazards • Replicate the study in other Europeancountries • Involve the private sector (including future funding)
