Seismic Risk Assessment and Evacuation Preparedness:: Approach of Resilient City with Evacuation Knowledge
Bangladesh is in a high-risk zone of seismic danger, based on historical records, geological evidence, and contemporary earthquake patterns. Earthquake is one of those natural catastrophes that has a direct and immediate impact on people's lives and communities. The procedure of the execution of the study is in three terms and they are social vulnerability/social aspects, physical vulnerability aspects and emergency response. In the social aspects some index were calculated for 5 indexes by 0 to 1 range scoring method and 380 samples were collected for that. The effectiveness of emergency evacuation level of service or virtual effectiveness analysis also conducted by consumer’s contentment index and public stuffs index. The vulnerability of the buildings in the study area has been calculated with the Visual Rating (VR) method. In the result of the study total score of social awareness and emergency evacuation preparedness factors is 8.91 out of 25 which represents the poor condition of social awareness. The consumers contentment index is 47.1 and the public stuffs index is 38.89 out of 100 score in savar study area which also represent the poor condition of satisfaction level regarding earthquake preparedness. About 43% building have no damage condition and 10% buildings have lightly damaged possibility and 28% buildings have the less possibility of collapse following by the 15% buildings of moderate possibility of collapse and about 4% building have high possibility of collapse. These result is found by 100 buildings surveyed in different ward of study area. However, due to a lack of knowledge and financial support, more participants may be unable to participate in the study. This research will help with community planning and development, as well as developers' utilization of underutilized rebuilding approaches. The model employed in this study will directly contribute to the evaluation of vulnerability and will also aid in the earthquake mitigation activities of the Savar Municipality.
