1 Enhancing the resilience of acute care facilities against extreme events Michel Bruneau Director, Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research

2 VISION STATEMENT The overall goal is to enhance the seismic resiliency of communities through improved engineering and management tools for critical infrastructure systems (water supply, electric power, and hospitals) and emergency management functions. Seismic resilience (technical, organizational, social, and economic) is characterized by reduced probability of system failure, reduced consequences due to failure, and reduced time to system restoration.

3 Reference: A Framework to Quantitatively Assess and Enhance Seismic Resilience Earthquake Spectra Journal Michel BRUNEAU (MCEER/University at Buffalo) Stephanie CHANG (University of British Columbia) Ronald EGUCHI (Imagecat Inc.) George C. LEE (MCEER) Thomas D. O'ROURKE (Cornell University) Andrei M.

4 Resilience Framework that quantitatively measures The ends of robustness and rapidity The means of resourcefulness and redundancy Dimensions of resilience Technical and Organizational (T & O) Societal and Economic (S & E)

9 Research Strategies Observations: Seismic rehabilitation of existing, underdesigned systems is most urgently needed. Well Executed Disaster Management Could Significantly Reduce the Losses

10 Research Strategies Nationwide upgrading of existing inventory is not fiscally prudent. However, protecting critical and essential facilities together with efficient response and recovery is a socio-economically viable national strategy for earthquake loss reduction.

25 Resiliency Targets Example: There is a 95% chance that 80% of hospitals can operate at 90% of their capacity within 5 days Communities cannot articulate such resiliency objectives Tools to support such statements don t exist Communities do not operate at this level yet MCEER to develop knowledge needed to create the tools that could provide such formulation (not the numbers themselves)

26 Deliverables A methodical framework that can be used to construct decision support system for critical facilities Lifelines and Hospitals as a stand-alones first Integrate into framework for all critical systems Demonstrate how could work using demonstration projects and specific advanced technologies

40 Vision The same approach can be adopted for the development of innovative and integrated solutions to enhance the resilience of infrastructure against extreme events (natural disasters, technological disasters, and acts of terrorism against our society), and is known worldwide for its ability to deliver superior products to its sponsors.

41 Steps to Enhance Resilience Spectrum of Needs Pre-Event Risk and vulnerability assessment, including the development of risk and vulnerability assessment methodologies, to prioritize the allocation of limited resources; System analysis and design, to investigate the ultimate behavior of systems and foster capacity-design principles for fail-safe outcomes; Improved materials, devices, or systems, to enhance the ability of infrastructure components and systems to withstand hazards; Retrofitting prior to an event.

42 Steps to Enhance Resilience Spectrum of Needs During Event Sensing technologies, for structural health monitoring, with possible applications for detection, surveillance and prevention

43 Steps to Enhance Resilience Spectrum of Needs Post-Event Post-event assessment, including the use of remote sensing (airborne or satellite-based) to rapidly locate areas impacted by a disaster, the type of damage suffered, and rapid assessment of losses; Post-event on-site screening methodologies, to assess safety of structures after an event using simple tools based on expert knowledge; Advanced technologies for repair and restoration following an event; Evaluation test-beds, to test and validate new technologies proposed to achieve above objectives.

44 Steps to Enhance Resilience In that perspective, much research results from the field of earthquake engineering could be modified to contribute to this objective. Earthquake engineering research has provided practical solutions to address a number of needs that are similar (although not identical) for a number of hazards.

45 Major Accomplishments World Trade Center Research: Comparing and Contrasting Natural and Human-Induced Disasters Data analysis will advance the conceptualization and quantification of a community s resilience to disasters Engineering and social science knowledge to address the impact of major urban earthquakes

46 Major Accomplishment Hurricane Charley Reconnaissance Report Satellite- Referenced Building Damage Information in the Aftermath of Hurricane Charley

47 Conclusion Definition of resilience allows to frame objectives in a global integrated model that focus on key issues On-going research important to develop the models and technologies to deliver such a framework for acute care facilities Select advanced technologies and demonstration project will be used to provide quantitative data and benchmark for validation
