“…Anelli et al [48] proposed a cost-benefit index and an innovative resilience indicator that helps to identify the best prioritization strategy for retrofit interventions. Jaimes and Niño [49] also proposed a cost-benefit methodology, based on numerical analysis of the buildings, to assess possible interventions, such as retrofitting or reconstruction of structures focused on mitigation of direct physical losses due to seismic actions. López et al [12] contributed to the development of a national risk-reduction program in Venezuela, starting with the assessment of the seismic performance of two typical schools, which were analyzed through nonlinear pushover analysis.…”

The safety and resilience of school buildings against natural disasters is of paramount importance since schools represent a reference point for communities. Such significance is not only related to the direct consequences of collapse on a vulnerable part of the population, but also due to the importance of schools in the post-disaster recovery. This work is focused on the risk and resilience assessment of school buildings in Lisbon (Portugal) under seismic events. The results of this study, in which a subset of 32 schools are analyzed, are used to define a prioritization strategy to mitigate the seismic risk of the Lisbon City Council school building portfolio and to assess the overall resilience of the school network. Numerical modeling of the school buildings is performed in order to estimate losses in terms of the built-up area of the schools and recovery times associated with different seismic scenarios, which are probabilistically defined specifically for the sites of the buildings, accounting for the local soil conditions and associated amplification effects. Based on the obtained risk estimates, which are compared to reference values established on international guidelines and specialized literature, the Lisbon City Council and LNEC jointly defined a short- and medium-term risk mitigation plan, starting with a detailed inspection and assessment of the most vulnerable school buildings and continuing to the implementation of retrofitting measures.

“…Seismic hazard in CDMX was estimated for return periods prescribed by CENAPRED of 20, 125, 250, and 475 years. The methodology considers the following steps (Jaimes and Niño, 2017): a) characterization of the different seismic sources potentially affecting CDMX (subduction, intraslab, and crustal) (Figure 2); b) use of the appropriate ground motion models depending on the types of earthquakes that each seismic source may generate such as interplate, intermediate, and shallow crustal depth (Abrahamson and Silva 1997;Jaimes et al 2006Jaimes et al , 2015Jaimes and García-Soto 2020); c) convolution of the response spectral ratios (soil transfer functions between each instrumented and reference sites; Rosenblueth and Arciniega 1992) with the ground motion predictions; and d) probability estimation of shaking intensity (e.g., peak ground acceleration, or spectral pseudo-acceleration corresponding to the first-mode period of vibration) for the different return periods.…”

We present a Geographical-Information-System-based Risk Atlas (GIS-RA) of Mexico City, Mexico. The main purposes are to provide a local-government level tool for implementing preventive and remedial actions useful for land-use development plans and to strengthen the culture for disaster prevention. We identified the prevalent social risk to the more relevant hazards in Mexico City (CDMX): earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, landslides, forest fires, and land subsidence. A total of 274 shape-file maps were generated in this project. Seismic hazard was estimated for return periods (RP) of 20, 125, 250, and 475 years. Three areas in central and northwestern CDMX were identified along the Younger Chichinautzin Monogenetic Volcanic Field with high probability of forming a new volcano. Subsidence is concentrated to the east and southeast of CDMX, where subsidence rates are among the highest worldwide. Flooding events were estimated for RP of 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 years and the majority of them are concentrated in the central and northern sectors of the city. During the dry season (December-April), southern CDMX has very high probability of forest fire occurrence. There is high susceptibility of landslides on the west and southwest of the city. The goals of this GIS-RA are to: 1) improve the knowledge of the potential impact of local hazards; 2) provide elements for disaster prevention, mitigation, preparedness, and response; 3) benefit decision-makers with robust risk data; 4) provide information for land-use planning; and 5) support further research to reduce the impact of disasters.

In Korea, there is still no plan to secure earthquake-resistant performance in private buildings despite being exposed to the risk of large and small earthquakes. Therefore, this study considered the current status of domestic and foreign support systems as well as prior research on improving the seismic resistance rate of private buildings, and surveys of experts and residents were conducted based on them. According to the survey, direct support such as financial support for seismic reinforcement, technical/administrative support, rental housing support, and deregulation should be considered to improve the seismic resistance rate of private buildings. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a cost-effective plan and review the financial security plan. As social consensus is important for these support systems, continuous policy research is needed.
