Topic Area

Climate, Multi-hazard Modeling, and Earthquake Resilience

Description

Much of the world’s population lives in places that are exposed to both earthquake and hydrometeorological hazards, which are intensifying due to our changing climate. Increasingly, infrastructure owners, governments and communities are looking for holistic and integrated approaches to disaster risk management and resilience-building that address multiple hazards and community concerns. The professional earthquake community has many decades of experience supporting the development of technical solutions and practices that address earthquake risk. Many of us are now being asked or actively seeking ways to bridge into climate adaptation and resilience work. It presents an opportunity to draw upon the practical expertise and advances the seismic world has made.

In this session, we will hear perspectives from a diverse group of practitioners engaged in multi-hazard work both domestically and internationally who are using their seismic experience to support climate resilience efforts. The presentations will highlight ways in which the earthquake community is positioned to positively impact climate adaptation efforts; gaps in moving towards more holistic, multi-hazard efforts; and opportunities for more intentional bridging of expertise across the earthquake and climate risk communities, including the role of EERI and its members. Each speaker will each share a brief ~6 minute presentation speaking to their interest and work in holistic, multi-hazard resilience. This will be followed by a moderated discussion structured around four key areas: demand, practicality, awareness/capacity, and collaboration between the earthquake and climate communities. A brief audience Q&A will follow each topic.
