Early warning and mass evacuation in coastal cities

Human Resource Management in Emergency Situations

“…It relies on a conceptual framework -SADT (Structured Analysis and Design Technique) -which helps to understand how data should be processed from its collection to its use in the plan. The risk scenarios were calculated for current and future conditions of the XXIst century, taking into account the effects of climate change (Hissel et al 2014).…”

“…Based on the analysis of the thermometers and similar scales, neural networks (Kong-A-Siou et al 2013; Liu et al 2014a), early warning (Krzhizhanovskaya et al 2011;Alfieri et al 2012;Borga et al 2014;Hissel et al 2014;Van Veen 2014), fuzzy (Kou et al 2014), expert (Karnib et al 2002;Kou et al 2014) and decision support (Hubbard et al 2014;Krzhizhanovskaya et al 2013, Kaklauskas 1999, Kaklauskas et al 2011c and in order to determine most efficient tips and resilience alternatives to flood adaptation in the built environment area a Recommender Thermometer for Measuring the Preparedness for Flood Resilience Management consisting of a database, database management subsystem, model-base, model-base management subsystem and user interface was developed.…”

Analysis of coastal storms for their application in harbours and coastal structures design

“…Η έρευνα των τελευταίων δεκαετιών επικεντρώνεται στη διαχείριση των καταιγίδων (Hissel et al, 2014;Spencer et al, 2015), στις προβλέψεις ακραίων γεγονότων (Madsen and Jakobsen, 2004;Lowe and Gregory, 2005;McInnes et al, 2007;Mattocks and Forbes, 2008;Rego and Li, 2009;Izaguirre et al, 2013) και στην εφαρμογή συστημάτων έγκαιρης προειδοποίησης (Ciavola et al, 2011b(Ciavola et al, , 2011aGall et al, 2013;Jones et al, 2017). Η διερεύνηση των καταιγίδων έχει εφαρμογή στην ολοκληρωμένη διαχείριση της παράκτιας ζώνης (Curtis, 2013;De la Torre et al, 2013;Hallegatte et al, 2013;Chadenas et al, 2014;Musereau and Regnauld, 2014;Jaranovic et al, 2017), και στο σχεδιασμό λιμενικών και παράκτιων έργων (Phan and Simiu, 2011;McCullough et al, 2013;Takahashi et al, 2014;Altomare et al, 2015;Burmeister et al, 2015;Basco, 2016;Do et al, 2016;Hatzikyriakou and Lin, 2017;Mooyaart and Jonkman, 2017;Mohd Anuar et al, 2018).…”

“…Currently, approximately 600 million people live in low elevation coastal zones (i.e., coastal regions less than 10 m above mean sea level) (Kirezci et al, 2020). Therefore, researchers primarily deal with storm management, which is vital for everyone who lives and works along the coasts and consequently focus on storm impacts in coastal areas (Hissel et al, 2014;Spencer et al, 2015). Considerable attention is given to research issues related to storm research, such as coastal zone management (Curtis, and Regnauld, 2014;Jaranovic et al, 2017), the optimal design of port and coastal structures (Rao and Mandal, 2005;Phan and Simiu, 2011;McCullough et al, 2013;Takahashi et al, 2014;Altomare et al, 2015;Burmeister et al, 2015;Basco, 2016;Do et al, 2016;Van Doorslaer et al, 2017;Hatzikyriakou and Lin, 2017;Mooyaart and the event (e.g., wave height, wave period).…”

“…A careful study of storm severity is needed for acquiring useful information about the present and past activity of coastal storms. Risk assessments of storms in coastal zones allow for a better understanding of these extreme events and their impacts, but also of the size of an upcoming hazard, thus preparing appropriately the coastal communities (Hissel et al, 2014;Rangel Buitrago and Anfuso, 2015;Cuite et al, 2017;Ding, 2017;Quevauviller et al, 2017;Erikson et al, 2018;Garnier et al, 2018).…”
