Basic Principles of Building Aseismic Code, Evacuation planning of critical infrastructures in case of an Earthquake or a Fire
Project background
Disasters,
such as earthquakes and fires can have significant impacts on the affected
population, including also loss of public or private heritage. In general,
risks posed for vulnerable groups of population, such as people with
disabilities, can be considered higher due to their susceptibility and usually
their limited ability to protect themselves in case of a disaster. In that
prospect, it is very important to improve preparedness taking into
consideration most vulnerable groups. Evacuation planning of critical
infrastructures in case of an earthquake or a fire is an issue that needs
further elaboration.

Project implementation
European Centre on Prevention and Forecasting of Earthquakes - Greece :
The
global aim of this project is to elaborate basic principles of the Building
Aseismic Code, including evacuation routes in case of earthquake and a fire taking
particular account of people with disabilities.
Most significant achievements
European Centre on Prevention and Forecasting of Earthquakes - Greece : European Centre for Forest Fires - Greece : A
volume in English and Greek entitled “Evacuation planning of critical
infrastructures in case of an Earthquake or a Fire for people with disabilities”
which addresses key aspects recorded internationally, relevant to evacuation of
people with disabilities in emergency situations
