| Résumé | (disponible en anglais seulement)
This work presents a new initiative to develop a rapid disaster modelling protocol for earthquakes in British Columbia (BC), Canada. We will explore best
practice and the feasibility of using rapidly available seismic data in the existing OpenQuake Canada framework to model the impacts to people, the built environment, and the economy. The current prototype will integrate observed ground motion data
from the BC Smart Infrastructure Monitoring System with physical exposure data from Natural Resources Canada's (NRCan) Human Settlement Layer to report on key metrics for early response: collapsed buildings, entrapment injuries, hospital demand
surge, roadway debris which may block response, and immediate mass care needs like shelter requirements. These indicators will be ported to the GeoBC Common Operating Picture, the online portal for authoritative and coordinated distribution of
emergency management information in the province. These outputs could likely be made available within tens of minutes of the earthquake occurring. Without this tool, municipalities would have to rely on reports from first responders, reconnaissance
along disrupted roadways by emergency personnel, or aerial surveillance performed by the military. The latter is expected to take at least 12 hours, a crucial period following a major earthquake in which situational awareness can be vastly improved
by our tool. The initiative is currently being led by NRCan, with partners from GeoBC, Emergency Management BC, and the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. |
