    Empowering communities for non-structural seismic risk mitigation: the central role of communication (2022)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-17
    Description: This special issue of “Annals of Geophysics” concerns the dissemination of knowledge on the prevention of damage mainly due to non-structural elements during earthquakes and its practical application at houses, schools and offices by common citizens, companies and institutions. The seismic capacity of buildings and other civil engineering structures and infrastructures are object of regulations for design and construction, and in some cases also the design, fabrication and mounting of electrical and mechanical equipments. Consequently, even in strong earthquakes many collapses of buildings and infrastructures are avoided. However, with few exceptions, design procedures do not aim at avoiding seismic vibrations from being transferred to the structures, but enable the structures to resist to the effects of those vibrations

    Using non-structural mitigation measures to maintain business continuity: a multi-stakeholder engagement strategy (2022)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-03-17
    Description: Encouraging property owners and individuals to adopt mitigation measures to improve the resilience of their buildings and equipments to seismic hazard has been a major challenge in many earthquake- prone countries. Few business leaders are aware of the fragility of their supply chains or other critical systems due to earthquake hazard. Bridging the gap between research production and research use is another crucial challenge for the earthquake risk research process. The KnowRISK project outcome is aimed at encouraging the proactive engagement of multi- stakeholders (community at large, schools, business community and local govern-ment groups) undertaking non-structural mitigation measures that will minimize earthquake losses to individuals and communities. Engaging stakeholders, taking into account their needs and inputs to maintain critical and urgent business activities, can contribute to the research findings and ensure that our data collection is thorough and complete. Engagement with stakeholders, during the whole process can lead to improved outcomes and for the development of viable solutions, for business and society, because of stakeholder’s role and influence within the organizations.

    Dissemination: steps towards an effettive action of seismic risk reduction for non-structural damage in the KnowRISK project (2020)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-12-13
    Description: “Move, protect, secure” were the three key points that the KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) project posed at the core of its communication and dissemination strategy. This three key points enable each person, professional or not, to reduce non-structural damage caused by earthquakes. Dissemination is usually the last but never the least step of a communication plan, and indeed it played a crucial role in KnowRISK project for conveying the three key-point message to the widest audience. Standard dissemination activities, such as open-door events, and internet allowed us to achieve a wide spreading of ideas and best practices, reaching more than 4,000 non-professionals and almost 50,000 page views of the KnowRISK project website (in three years), respectively. As communication was recipient-targeted, the dissemination task of the project was addressed to professionals, layman, and schools. In particular, schools were chosen in order to profit from the chain-reaction action that is capable to spread a message from students to the surrounding environment.

    What scientific information on non-structural elements seismic risk people need to know ? Part 2: tools for risk communication (2021)
    INGV
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-12-13
    Description: The present paper describes the process of moving from a research study of most common vulnerable non-structural elements, to deliver solutions, tools and guidelines to improve understanding of and responsiveness to community concerns about seismic risk and non-structural elements. The observed damage to non-structural elements following recent earthquakes in Italy, Portugal and Iceland, were used for designing communication tools under the KnowRISK EU project for multi-stakeholders (students, business and citizens): the Practical Guide, the Students Short Guide, the KnowRISK Portfolio of Solutions, the Move, Protect and Secure video, the augmented reality apps, the maquettes, the students notebooks, videos, board games and hands-on tools. The philosophy behind these deliverables is that some risks, once identified, can be eliminated or reduced by informing people and suggesting preventive or emergency measures. These tools are devoted to improving the seismic performance of non-structural elements and to reduce the associated economic losses, loss of functionality, and potential threats to life safety. The rationale behind the selection of the information that people need to know for converting knowledge to more safety is discussed and a description of the transference of the findings of research to communication solutions is presented. The tools were planned following the engagement-model in risk communication to ensure that needs of communities and selected stakeholders were acknowledged, and that recipients are addressed in a way that appeals to them. Different media and communication channels such as print, television, online, face-to face communication and interviews were used for risk communication.

    What scientific information on non-structural elements seismic risk people need to know? Part 1: Compiling an inventory on damage to non-structural elements (2021)
    Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-11-29
    Description: Understanding seismic damages to non-structural elements and their effects on functionality of facilities are important in developing general recommendations for earthquake risk management. This paper presents a review of non-structural damage caused by recent earthquakes in Mt. Etna in Italy, Lisbon and Azores islands in Portugal and southern Lowland in Iceland. The study was performed as a part of the KnowRISK EU project. The objective of this review is to identify the most commonly damaged non-structural elements in these different areas. This is a basic requirement for preparing prevention strategies communication campaigns that are tailored to the local needs. This study shows that the most commonly damaged elements are partition walls, ceiling systems, non-structural vaults, chimneys, building contents and storage racks. Analyses proved that substantive efforts are needed worldwide to improve techniques for reducing damage to non-structural elements. The observations on frequency, severity, and consequences of damage of different non-structural elements are important for (i) making mitigation plans and priorities (ii) designing mitigation measures, and (iii) communicating the mitigation measures to different stakeholders. These activities aim to raise stakeholders’ awareness of potential risk and viable mitigation measures.
    Description: KnowRISK is co-financed by European Commission’s Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Grant agreement ECHO/SUB/2015/718655/PREV28. It is a project that involved four different European research centers and universities under the coordination of the Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal). The partners are the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (Italy), the Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil (Portugal) and the Earthquake Engineering Research Centre (University of Iceland). We acknowledge Antonio Torrisi, Department of Civil Protection of Sicily (DPCR) – Unit of Seismic and Volcanic Risk S.03, for having provided data from AeDES forms. Rajesh Rupakhety acknowledges support from the University of Iceland research fund.
