Multi-hazard Impact and Vulnerability Analysis in Building City Infrastructure Resilience
Cities could be simultaneously affected by multiple hazards. This states a serious challenge for building infrastructure resilience. As the infrastructure may be characterized by different impact and vulnerability for cascading effect, the two should be considered. The objective is to analyse impact and vulnerability of crisis city hazards, crucial city infrastructures and their relations in terms of cascading effect materialization. The study uses a case of Swinoujscie city (Poland), due to its role in state and European critical infrastructure. Publicly available information sources and checklists to identify crisis hazards and crucial infrastructure (referring to critical infrastructure) were used. Their logical relations were indicated and analysed by experts to estimate potential of the hazards and the infrastructures due to cascading effect development and to create foundations for formulation of guidelines for city infrastructure resilience. Multi-hazard impact and vulnerability analysis map interconnections between the hazards and the infrastructures and indicates kinds of infrastructures at the highest priority in resilience building. The methodological layer refers to methods and tools accessible and cognitively friendly for a wide spectrum of users (especially public administration and services). It can be used in multiple safety and security analysis dedicated for urban areas.
