Towards Reliable Recurrent Disaster Forecasting Methods: Peruvian Earthquake Case
We are interested in recurrent disaster forecasts; these are events such as annual cyclones in the Caribbean, earthquakes along the Ring of Fire and so on. These crises, even smallor medium-sized, are, in fact, critical for the emergency response of humanitarian organizations inasmuch as the sum of casualties and losses attained are as deadly as those that are considered exceptional. The aim of...
متن کاملDisaster Mitigation Engineering -the Kobe Earthquake Disaster
The concept of plate tectonics is generally accepted in earth science and seismology. The surface of the earth is divided into rigid tectonic plates that move on the earth surface at extremely slow speed. The islands of Japan sit on the North American and Eurasian plates. The Pacific plate moves westward and the Philippines plate moves to northwest direction; both plates sink under the islands ...
متن کاملEarthquake Disaster Management with Considering the Importance of Recovery
With respect to disasters, earthquake is one of the leading causes of death. Its aftermath can be abated if proper actions take place before the onset of the earthquake. Various sectors in a country are responsible for managing disasters, but the lack of knowledge about the positive effects of their actions makes them reluctant to act decisively. Retrofitting buildings and structures, positioni...
متن کاملTowards an Integrated Earthquake Disaster Simulation System
This paper introduces the overall structure of an integrated earthquake disaster simulation system which is being developed under five year Special Project for Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in Urban Areas supported by the MEXT of Japan. This project aims to connect in a unity more than a dozen of simulators for individual natural phenomena and human activities involved in a big urban earthquak...
متن کاملEarthquake Disaster Simulation in Immersive 3D Environment
Human response to any adverse situation can be greatly enhanced through training and mind-body experience. Earthquake is one such phenomenon where human response to minimise injuries/deaths is constrained due to disorientation of the victims. People in regions with frequent earthquakes often exhibit better response due to past experience. Training of the mind and body can also be achieved in a ...
