GNGTS 2019 - Atti del 38° Convegno Nazionale

GNGTS 2019 S essione 2.2 509 et al. , 2019; Thouret et al. , 2014; Zuccaro et al. , 2008, 2010, 2015). The scenarios include geo- referenced data managed by geo-server capable of exchanging data in a format compliant with OGC standards and the European INSPIRE Directive, such as wms / wfs. The output of the simulations can be further processed through Multi-Criteria and Cost-Benefit analyses modules to support the appraisal of alternative emergency management options (Zuccaro et al. , 2013). The model is tested through different case studies, constituted by three Italian municipalities: Cava de’ Tirreni (Campania Region, 54,000 inhabitants), Nicolosi (Sicily Region, 7,492 inhabitants) and Grumento Nova (Basilicata Region, 1,689 inhabitants), where survey activities in situ have been carried out, with aim to collect information on the ordinary buildings (Fig.2). CAESAR II is a decision support tool for local Command & Control authorities and first responders to improve the ability to coordinate the seismic emergency planning and management processes, as well as to improve situational awareness in the early stages of a seismic event. Fig. 2 - Case studies of CAESAR II project. The hazard/impact scenarios produced by the simulation tool are stored in the PLINIVS servers both in terms of quantitative input/output parameters (tables), both in terms of cartography and geographical distribution of hazard intensity and damage on the elements exposed (maps). The scenarios are visualised through the open source and OGC compliant software Geoserver (geoserver.org) and made accessible to the FRs through dedicated interfaces. In the preparedness phase, multiple simulations can be carried out by varying hazard intensity and localization, thus supporting contingency planning for the optimal allocation of response resources, as well as for training purposes, delivering realistic seismic impact scenarios in a given area. During real seismic crises, the intensity and location of the event can be provided as input by local seismic monitoring infrastructure, and the consequent impact calculated by the tool in real time. This allows, in the response phase, FRs to acquire a full picture of the expected damages on built environment and population, so to determine the protective assets to provide to the affected population (e.g. clothing, masks or shelters), in terms estimation of the needed quantity as well as the optimal location for useful deployment, and support other decisions, such as the temporary camp size/location and/or temporary housing options.
