A systematic review of integrated frameworks for resilience and sustainability ...
Leal, Oscar Javier Urbina; Fekete, Alexander; Ramírez Eudave, Rafael; Matos, José C.; Sousa, Hélder S.; Teixeira, Elisabete RodriguesThere is a growing tendency to assess resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructures (CI), given the significant increment in high-impact natural hazard events affecting socio-economic welfare. Historically, these assessments have been conducted separately due to the independent evolution of each concept. However, recent contributions tend to integrate them. This paper provides a state-of-the-art rev...
Spatial vulnerability assessment of critical infrastructure based on fire risk ...
Leal, Oscar Javier Urbina; Sousa, Hélder S.; Fekete, Alexander; Matos, José C.; Teixeira, Elisabete RodriguesOne of the most important factors when assessing the resilience of critical infrastructure is its vulnerability to extreme events. This study focuses on developing correlation maps that define the vulnerability to fire risk of critical infrastructure and its zone of influence. Using an index approach, a vulnerability assessment is challenging due to the fact that observing and measuring certain vulnerability as...
Integrated risk and resilience assessment for critical civil infrastructures – ...
Leal, Oscar Javier Urbina; Baquedano Juliá, Pilar; Ferreira, Tiago Miguel; Fekete, Alexander; Matos, José C.; Teixeira, Elisabete RodriguesUrban areas are frequently affected by fires due to flammable materials and building density, easing the propagation of the fire, resulting in high fire risk and generating high impacts. In addition, climate change exacerbates the conditions that trigger fires worldwide due to the increment of the media temperature caused mainly by greenhouse emissions and prolonged droughts. Critical Civil Infrastructures asse...
