3 RESILIENCE THE ABILITYOF PHYSICAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIAL UNITS TO: Mitigate Hazards Contain the Effects of Disasters When They Occur Carry Out Recovery Activities in Ways That Minimize Social Disruption and Mitigate the Effects of Future Disaster Events

4 COMPONENTS OF RESILIENCE ROBUSTNESS REDUNDANCY RESOURCEFULNESS RAPIDITY

5 RESPONSE, RECOVERY, AND RESILIENBCE Resilience unctionality f Built and Social nvironment t 0 t 1 Improved Resilience time With More Effective, Timely Response t 0 t 1 time

6 MCEER S ULTIMATE GOAL DEVELOPMENT AND REFINEMENT OF A SUITE OF DECISION- SUPPORT TOOLS FOR RESPONSE AND RECOVERY, EMPLOYING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND EMPIRICALLY-GROUNDED SIMULATION METHODS

7 TOPICS FOR THIS DISCUSSION REMOTE-SENSING TOOLS FOR RESPONSE, RECOVERY, AND RECONNAISSANCE RESEARCH-BASED DISASTER RECOVERY DECISION SUPPORT

8 REMOTE-SENSING RESEARCH FOR PRE-DISASTER LOSS-ESTIMATION FOR POST-IMPACT DAMAGE AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR POST-DISASTER RECONNAISSANCE, COLLECTION OF PERISHABLE DATA

9 POST-DISASTER REMOTE- SENSING RESEARCH VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES: IFSAR, LIDAR, OPTICAL IMAGERY, GPS TRIANGULATION OF MEASURES: COMPARISON OF DATA OBTAINED USING DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES AND DATA-COLLECTION METHODS

10 EXAMPLES OF EVENTS STUDIED 1995 KOBE EQ 1999 TURKEY EQ 1999 CHI-CHI EQ 2003 ALGERIA EQ 2003 BAM, IRAN EQ 2004 FLORIDA HURRICANES 2004 INDIAN OCEAN EQ AND TSUNAMI

16 SATELLITE IMAGE OF TSUNAMI FLOODING

17 IEWS: Visualizing Impacts of Earthquakes with atellite Imagery

18 RECOVERY MODELING AND SIMULATION COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY RECOVERY MODEL: ENHANCING RESILIENCE THROUGH IMPROVED RECOVERY DECISION-MAKING

19 MCEER S RECOVERY MODEL CROSS-DOMAIN ANALYTIC APPROACH EXTENSIVELY GROUNDED IN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH CONSIDERS BOTH PRE-EVENT AND POST-EVENT INFLUENCES ON RECOVERY TRAJECTORIES

20 Objectives of the Model To develop an interactive simulation of how cities recover from earthquake disasters To extend loss estimation to recovery analysis To support planning and decision-making To facilitate interactive exploration of alternatives

21 onceptual Model of Disaster Recovery COMMUNITY NEIGHBORHOOD adopts building codes plans for mutual aid Earthquake damages buildings HOUSEHOLDS provide jobs BUSINESSES consume products support recovery LIFELINES enables repair work Transportation Electric power Water runs pumps damages lifelines

22 Questions the Model Can Address What policies (e.g., mutual aid, disaster plan) can best speed recovery? Graphical User Interface for Software How will mitigation measures affect community recovery Which neighborhood may lag in recovery? How do characteristics of households (e.g., income) or businesses (e.g., sector) affect neighborhood recovery?

23 ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF PRE-DISASTER MITIGATION RECOVERY TRAJECTORIES WITH AND WITHOUT MITIGATION Without Mitigation With Mitigation
