DRS-7-2014 Crisis management topic 7: Crises and disaster resilience – operationalizing resilience concepts PRIMED: Pareto-optimal Resilience In Major European Disasters Dr Glenn Hawe and Professor Hui Wang University of Ulster, Compute Science [email protected] , [email protected] Willing to coordinator PRIMED Pareto-optimal Resilience In Major European Disasters Aim: To determine the combinations of disaster management policies across different ECI which lead to resilience which can be described as “optimal” Objectives: 1. Determine how different preparedness and mitigation policies across Europe influence X (for various ECIs) 2. Determine how different response and recovery policies across Europe influence T (for various ECIs) 3. Determine the interdependence of resilience curve shapes across different (1) ECIs (2) countries 4. Through computer experiments, determine “management cycles” which lead to resilience which is Pareto-optimal Project team Ulster expertise • Machine learning • Knowledge representation • Multi-criteria decision making / optimization • Agent-based modelling and simulation of emergency services Desired Partners • Civil contingency units • Environment agencies • Transport agencies • Utility companies • Modelling and simulation experts
