A computational framework for modelling post-earthquake building damage, loss of functionality and recovery
… to communities that last beyond physical damage to buildings and infrastructure. In both New Zealand and international contexts, this has prompted a shift in seismic design paradigm from a sole focus on life safety to approaches that also limit damage and support timely recovery. However, …

Pre- and Post-Disaster Remote Sensing with Drones for Supporting Disaster Management
… data acquisition (a preparedness activity) and rapid damage assessment (a response activity). As such, the second study presents the first pre-disaster drone-based mapping mission over an urban area (downtown Victoria, British Columbia) approved by Transport Canada. The objective was to assess …

Improving Earthquake Disaster Models with Post-Event Data: Insights from the 2015 Gorkha, Nepal Earthquake
… three ways in which post- disaster survey and assessment datasets can be used to inform models of seismic risk, vulnerability, and recovery processes. The first article presents an empirical analysis of scale issues in disaster vulnerability indices using a novel dataset of 750,000 households. …

A Cognitive Assessment of Post-Disaster Imagery Requirements
… when hazard and disaster events happen. Rapid damage assessment is time-critical to distribute accessible response resources and accelerate relief efforts. Currently there are many researchers focusing on post-disaster damage assessment studies, most of which are based on fine-resolution …

Sudden-event monitoring of civil infrastructure using wireless smart sensors
Many of the civil infrastructure damage scenarios involve sudden events, including natural disasters and anthropogenic hazards. Due to their unpredictable nature, many of these events go unnoticed or unreported; but their consequence can be catastrophic, resulting in damage/failure in a matter of …
