Risk in Water Supply System Crisis Management

CRISIS: A System for Risk Management

In a situation of an unexpected catastrophe, uncertainty and demand for information are constant. In such a disaster scenario, the CRISIS system arises as a tool to contribute to previous coordination, procedure validation, exercise execution, a good and frequent communication among organizations, and weakness and threat assessment for an appropriate risk management. It offers a wide variety of...

Crisis Management Model in the Petroleum Firms System

In recent decades, energy companies have been thinking about remediation and recruitment of new human resources. The new wave of hiring has had both positive and negative effects. Negative effects (such as over-recruitment and crowding in companies, rising costs of human resources, etc.) have caused a crisis in some energy companies. The purpose of this study was to present a model for crisis m...

Application of Fuzzy Logic for Failure Risk Assessment in Water Supply System Management

The presented method of determining the risk associated with the failure in water supply systems (WSS) was based on the results of study on the operation of water supply networks and the related failures. The implementation of fuzzy logic proposed in this paper allows to determine the failure risk depending on defined by fuzzy functions two parameters: the duration of the lack of water supply a...

Risk Management Analyses on Measuring the Robustness of the Water Supply Network System in Tokyo

Task Title: System Risk and Reliability for Water Supply Systems

Three objectives are set for this year: (1) The development and implementation of probabilistic seismic hazard model for multi-sites with consideration of spatial variation of ground motions; (2) The refinement of the methodology to calculate seismic fragility of water supply systems based on a combination of Monte Carlo simulation and hydraulic network analysis for damaged systems; and (3) The...
