A Technological System for Post-Earthquake Damage Scenarios Based on the Monitoring by Means of an Urban Seismic Network [PDF]

open access: yesSensors, 2021
A technological system capable of automatically producing damage scenarios at an urban scale, as soon as an earthquake occurs, can help the decision-makers in planning the first post-disaster response, i.e., to prioritize the field activities for ...

Damage scenarios and an onboard support system for damaged ships

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2014
Although a safety assessment of damaged ships, which considers environmental conditions such as waves and wind, is important in both the design and operation phases of ships, in Korea, rules or guidelines to conduct such assessments are not yet developed.

Flood damage: a model for consistent, complete and multipurpose scenarios [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016
Effective flood risk mitigation requires the impacts of flood events to be much better and more reliably known than is currently the case. Available post-flood damage assessments usually supply only a partial vision of the consequences of the floods as ...

Seismic damage scenarios for Mayotte: a tool for disaster management

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Géoscience, 2022
A new marine volcano is erupting offshore Mayotte since May 2018, generating numerous earthquakes. The population felt many of them and the stronger shaking of the ongoing sequence caused slight damage to buildings.
