Description

The project aims to build a system for multidimensional seismic risk assessment in cross-border areas, whose dimensions are the damage to structures and the psychological consequences for the individuals involved. The system has a knowledge base containing reference structures and reference families represented using technical and psychological parameters, which serve as a representative set of the structures and families in existing areas. With reference to an earthquake that has occurred or may occur in existing areas where the knowledge of structures(families) may also be incomplete, the system associates existing structures(families) to similar reference structures(families) of the KB based on available data. The system then combines analytical/numerical methods with eXplainable Artificial Intelligence models to estimate the damage to structures, the losses, and the psychological consequences for the individuals involved. The system will be available for competent authorities for free, as a web app, and will help civil protection authorities when planning mitigation strategies to reduce damages and losses.
