The project is located in Moscow at the International Association for Earthquake Engineering and Protection against Natural and Man-induced Dynamic Impacts in Moscow. Its primary goal is to protect cities from natural and man-made disasters, and draws on elements of the Habitat Agenda and of the Moscow Declaration of the 2002 Kremlin Conference on Sustainable City Development. The project includes elaboration of methodological recommendations for disaster preparedness and prevention, including a comprehensive plan of preventive measures for catastrophic earthquake after-effects adapted to the conditions of selected demonstration cities. The project intends to develop and implement a pilot project in (at least) one city to model disaster scenarios related to earthquake risk reduction. The project’s main beneficiaries are local authorities and the over 300 Russian cities with a combined population of more than 20 million people that are located in seismic-active areas.
The first project review meeting was held to approve the general concept of the project, its structure and content. Consultations with cities were held to identify demonstration cities in the highly seismic areas. Other project activities in the first year included identifying scenario modelling goals, types and structure of seismic hazard scenarios and elaboration of scenario methodologies for risk assessment.
- The first project review meeting has taken place.
- The city of Nalchik, located in the Northern Caucasus Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, expressed its interest to host a pilot project.
- The background chapter for the project report has been prepared.
- Classification of disaster scenarios has been completed.
- Structure and main parameters of seismic risk have been developed.
- An evaluation of the political and socio-economic impact of catastrophe has been prepared.
- A model of seismic impacts in an urban context, including secondary impacts, has been developed.
