Earthquake Damage Scenarios in Lisbon for Disaster Preparedness

  • Chapter
Issues in Urban Earthquake Risk

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 271))

Abstract

Research on the earthquake history of the town of Lisbon has been improved in order to assure the scientific background to launch an effective earthquake disaster preparedness program. The characterization of the seismology of the area as well as its geology were fundamental in preparing a microzonation of the seismic risk of the building stock. Furthermore, to evaluate the seismic risk, the dynamics of the population, the property value and the vulnerability of the building typology were considered and integrated in a seismic impact model. This knowledge has been used to prepare the first version of the seismic risk emergency plan for the town of Lisbon, and many efforts are carried out to improve it in order to assure the adequate disaster preparedness.
