    Can Building Seismic Resiliency Benefit from Emergent Technologies? Case Studies from the Projects KnowRISK and 3DTeLC (2020)
    AGU
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-01-20
    Description: Building resiliency to natural hazards like earthquakes requires worldwide engagement, starting from education and dissemination of good practice among the youths. Education of new professionals in the field of seismic risk takes nowadays advantage from the implementation of emergent technologies, such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), which can benefit from the huge amount of digital information available. We present a few case studies from two European projects promoting education and communication also throughout the application of AR and VR. Targeted audiences of the two projects were schools and universities. KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements; Grant agreement ECHO/SUB/2015/718655/PREV28) ended in 2018; it had a special focus on non-structural damage caused by earthquakes, exploring the causes of disruption and proposing preventive measures to reduce it. 3DTeLC is funded through the Erasmus+ Key Action 2 Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education scheme (Project Reference: 2017-1-UK01-KA203-036719) and will be completed in 2020. The project trains students to navigate 3D models of volcanic regions in Iceland, Greece, and Italy (at Mt. Etna volcano), allowing them to carry out virtual surveys also in hazardous contexts. Accordingly, the project aims at strengthening students’ skills in Earth observation and data analysis.

    The KNOWRISK project: when communication becomes prevention (2018)
    Centro Stampa della Regione Emilia Romagna
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-11-29
    Description: Prevention can positively intrude culture only if access to experts’ knowledge is facilitated. On the other hand progress in seismic performance and even legal regulatory provisions can be more effective if the stakeholders are aware of the associated risks and benefits. Standing from these ideas, KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) supports disaster reduction relying on risk communication. KnowRISK is a project financed by the European Commission, under the General Directorate of Civil Protection and Humanitarian Operation, that addresses mitigation of non-structural component (NSC) damage caused by earthquakes in selected pilot areas belonging to the three participating countries, namely Portugal, Italy, and Iceland. Often neglected by experts, significance of damage to NSCs is largely unknown to the public, specifically concerning costs and benefits associated to actions that can reduce their vulnerability. “If the house doesn’t collapse, I will be safe” is a major fallacies among common citizens. Factors acting as barriers to the adoption of NSCs seismic protection need to be carefully addressed to understand why even solutions that might require low efforts, and costs, do not receive due attention. KnowRISK considered the direct engagement of public into the process of communication to be a good way to tackle this issue. KnowRISK tasks are grouped into: 1) a Research for Action block that produces the input of knowledge to be delivered to communities in the participating countries and activate an 2) Action for Prevention block.
