Both the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake and the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami can help practitioners and researchers to further understand the role of information sharing and decision-making in future large-scale post-disaster situations. While both Japan and New Zealand have relatively advanced disaster risk reduction procedures, both c...

... efficient response in the immediate aftermath of the disaster can be observed when compiling the main events following the Earthquake/Tsunami on March 11 th (see Table 1) and analyzing the actions adopted by the Japanese authorities. In the specific context of the nuclear crisis, the Japanese Authorities declared an Atomic Power Emergency as early as six hours following the Earthquake and released the first evacuation recommendation. ...

Subduction systems globally terminate, allowing plate-motion to be transferred from the oceanic megathrust onto continental and/or oceanic transform faults. The mechanism of this kinematic transition over earthquake timescales is, however, poorly understood due to a lack of relevant data. Here, we study the 2016 Mw7.8 Kaikōura Earthquake in New Zea...

... This also includes work for road accessibility etc. Recovery time covers the period from when the repair starts until the entire network is repaired. These two times overlap and this is dealt with according to prioritizations inspired by the Oregon resilience plan (OSSPAC, 2013) and from literature on experiences and lessons learned from previous earthquakes (Bragado, 2016;EERI, 2007;Eidinger & Davis, 2012;Pedroso et al., 2013;Mowll, 2012). Based on this, a simple spreadsheet model is built which can estimate the emergency response time. ...

No consensus currently exists on how to measure and evaluate Critical Infrastructure (CI) resilience. Attempting to use the public’s declared coping capacity as a target for CI resilience, this paper explores how to develop relevant resilience performance measurements that enable comparison to the tolerance levels of the general public. To do so, one must first establish the normal performance of the system and the applicable performance measures. Then, a survey is used to convert public perception into these measures as to enable comparison with the technical resilience performance. The CI resilience will be presented through a family of so-called resilience triangles which will illustrate the evolution of the performance, before, during and after a crisis event. A case study of the Municipal Water Network of Barreiro, Portugal, is used. The overall performance is preferably described with the categories quality, quantity and delivery. In quantifying the performance the importance of what is being assessed, to what hazard and for which end-user became evident.
