    KnowRISK on Seismic Risk Communication: the set-up of a participatory strategy (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-21
    Description: KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) is a European project that addresses prevention measures to reduce non-structural damage caused by earthquakes. It is built on risk communication and takes action on pilot areas of the three participating countries: Portugal, Iceland, and Italy. The setting up of risk communication strategies in the project stands on the understanding local communities fragility, on their direct engagement, and on a holistic approach to vulnerability. The level of relevance of seismic compared to other hazards, the understanding, the memory of past disasters are indicators that affect the way a risk is perceived and preventive measures are taken. Similarly, the level of education, wealth, exposure to other, social, risks are aggravation parameters in risk computation to be accounted for when we communicate risk. Strategies for risk communication in KnowRISK rely on schools and citizen’s engagement, citizen’s science activities, tools for raising awareness.

    The participatory risk communication action of the KnowRISK project: case study in Italy (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-19
    Description: "Know your school: be safe!" is a risk communication campaign, within the KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements) project, involving schools in three European countries, namely Portugal, Italy and Iceland. Its main aim is to facilitate school communities’ access to expert knowledge on non-structural seismic risk reduction. In Italy we implemented a learning strategy to capture young people attention. We believe students will be influential in turning scientific knowledge to practical know-how. The strategy is based on Situated Learning Episode (EAS), where homework is for learning and skills, and classwork is for reworking and understanding. The KnowRISK-EAS starts and ends with two focus groups where students, and experts rework concepts and discuss best practices. Students are asked to implement a communication product addressing their peers. The assignment has a double goal: it helps to activate reflexive learning; it will be a project tool to trigger risk reduction attitude within schools communities.

    Awareness on Seismic Risk: How can Augmented Reality help? (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-21
    Description: To communicate the importance of knowing the risk of non-structural damage caused by earthquakes, we developed applications based on Augmented Reality (AR) features. These applications run on mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, by using their video camera and other on-board sensors, such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyrocompass, from which AR users do take advantage. Combined with a specifically designed exhibit, our AR applications can contribute to increase the common awareness on seismic risk, providing useful information on how to have safer homes in case of an earthquake. Building codes do not take into account non-structural elements, leaving communities at risk of injuries, blocking escapes and even causing deaths. In this framework, the personal preparedness is of paramount importance. The development of our AR applications is supported by the European project KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements).

    Development of a common (European) tool to assess earthquake risk communication (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-11-29
    Description: This paper reports work on an on-going EC project called KnowRISK aimed at reducing the seismic risk from non-structural elements in buildings. Specifically it reports work on the development of a European tool to assess the effectiveness of risk communication interventions and awareness raising training with middle and high school children in case study areas in Portugal, Italy and Iceland. It describes the difficulties research teams faced in agreeing a theoretical framework and in devising the survey tool. Although they all agreed it was essential to have a common survey if the findings from the research were to be compared across the three countries, one year into the two-year project two of the teams were moving in different directions. This was significant since some of the pre-intervention surveys had already been conducted. Both theoretical frameworks had merit and each of the questionnaires were capable of assessing the efficacy of the training. However, they were in no way comparable. Finally the paper details how these difficulties were resolved and a common questionnaire was devised that embodied virtues from both surveys. This was then applied in all three countries to provide comparable data, the findings from which will be reported elsewhere.

    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.

    KnowRISK Practical Guide for mitigation of seismic risk due to non-structural components (2018)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2022-06-09
    Description: Good performance of non-structural elements can be decisive in saving lives and costs when an earthquake strikes. The European project KnowRISK aims to educate and encourage households to take the necessary precautionary measures to protect people, houses, and contents. Preparedness and prevention act on community resilience. Within the KnowRISK project, the idea of a Practical Guide has been conceived suggesting seismic mitigation solutions for non-structural components to non-experts stakeholders. It is intended to guide people into the first steps of prevention in a straightforward manner, minimizing or avoiding injuries, damage, and long-term financial consequences. The novelty of the Guide belongs to his philosophy: a path through increasing challenges corresponds to a growing level of safety. The idea is that anyone can mitigate seismic risk in its own environment by adopting simple and low cost measures. The Practical Guide may contribute to increase risk awareness. This kind of initiatives if undertaken at larger scales may also enhance social resilience.
