SURE! Simulation Urban Resilience Exercise

This game aims to support community groups to engage in focused conversations about planning and collaboration to better prepare for floods. It requires 6-20 players and takes about 30-45 minutes to play. Learning outcomes: This game aims to support community groups to engage in focused conversations about planning and collaboration to better prepare for floods. The game is published by PreventionWeb. This is a collaborative knowledge sharing platform on disaster risk reduction (DRR), managed by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR). The site offers a range of knowledge products and services to facilitate the work of DRR professionals.

Rising Risks in a Changing Climate

This presentation looks at rising risks in a changing climate, with a particular focus on weather extremes, and their impacts on the most vulnerable people. Starting from the risk framework used by the IPCC (combining hazards, exposure and vulnerability), this presentation looks at a range of risk drivers, from cases where we have identified trends in probabilities of specific hazards to contexts of rising exposure and vulnerability (and most often, a combination of the three). Key determinants of risk are poverty and fragility/conflict, and more generally the ability to withstand shocks and adapt to changing hazards.

Japanese Cities: Critical infrastructure design for extreme resilience

HOW TO NAVIGATE THIS CASE STUDY: First, please refer to the Teacher's Guide using the yellow "View Materials" button on the left pane. The teacher's guide outlines the purpose, contents, approach, case structure, and technical information of this case study. This case study was curated from other independently published open educational resources and from existing materials on this platform. These resources are also organized by domain. At the bottom of each resource's page, you can see both the city case study and SURF Resilience domain to which it belongs. Click on the case study or the domain name to navigate to the case study homepage or SURF Resilience collection, respectively. OVERVIEW: This set contains a teaching guide, seven thematic foci, and gaming simulations. In this set, you will discover the challenges and opportunities provided by the concept of urban resilience on mitigating and preventing flooding. Examples of design considerations of hydraulic structures and spillways will show you how resilience can be integrated into urban planning and management. Then, you will dive into the topic of large waves, typhoons, storm surges, and tsunamis. You will see how one natural disaster can pose potential downstream risks for society, as exhibited by the 2011 tsunami and the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant failure. Moreover, you will see how tsunamis impact multiple urban subsystems such as transportation, buildings, sanitation, and environment. You will have the opportunity to think about solution strategies and their ethical considerations. Then, you will look into the process of post-disaster reconstruction after a disaster has uprooted existing systems. Lastly, you will see how man-made climate change has created alternative urban climates. You will also look into how to design for a better, more comfortable urban microclimate. End by playing related resilience games.

Flexible assets: the real option approach

Decisions about large scale (infrastructure) projects have to be taken while future developments are uncertain. As these projects are implemented over several years, sometimes decades, there are many factors that can change in the meantime: technological advances, changing stakeholders, political shifts, and economic fluctuations. It is believed that in recent times these uncertainties have only increased making decisions even more risky. As the costs involved are high and these projects are (nearly) irreversible – in the sense that abortion would be nearly as costly as finishing the installation – it is not surprising that project managers want to plan ahead and identify all risks imaginable. Some say that it is in the nature of the engineer to attempt to design artifacts that withstand the test of time. A fundamentally different approach would be, rather than investing efforts to reduce the different components of uncertainty, to develop better ways to live or co-exist with uncertainties and risk. This, and how to do so the real options approach/ROA), will be explained by the following lecture of Professor Richard de Neufville from MIT (recorded during the NGI-conference in the Hague in May 2014). In the interview following his lecture, he will answer some specific questions.

Earthquakes in Santiago

This trend report investigates the resilience of the city of Santiago de Chile against the shock of earthquakes. Chile is situated on the Ring of Fire and has experienced frequent earthquakes for centuries. Moreover, the recently recognised active fault, the San Ramón Fault which runs along the eastern limits of Santiago will test the city’s resilience against frequent and often powerful earthquakes. Since Santiago has experienced a rapid urbanisation there are several critical infrastructures that could be severely damaged in the event of an earthquake such as residential areas, hospitals or transport networks. Furthermore, should a fatal earthquake occur it could also cause a major economic stress on the government and the inhabitants of the city. To increase the city’s resilience in order to adapt to the shock there are solution strategies that could be implemented, such as more efficient emergency management, stricter construction regulations and reinforcement of weak buildings. Further reduction of inequality gap would have a positive feedback as well as implementing the risk of earthquakes in the earliest stages of urban planning. The first part of this trend report will explain the mechanisms behind earthquakes and why Santiago is exposed to frequent seismic activity. Further, the effects of the earthquakes on the city will be described where the focus is on the vulnerable parts of the urban network and other critical infrastructure. Then, several solutions strategies will be identified, as well as recommendations for further reading.

Riskville

In Riskville participants are made responsible for the planning and adaptation of an attractive city and the management of consequences of a flood to the city. The aim of the pedagogic tool Riskville (Riskköping) is to in a playful manner raise awareness about climate related risks, possible impacts on a society and how consequences can be handled.

Smart Cities and Smart Citizens

In the video, Ingrid Boas will explain the concepts of smart cities and smart citizens and apply them to the case of smart grids. She addresses risks related to exclusion, access and privacy issues. Who has access to the generated data besides the consumer? And, whose responsibility is it to help balance the grid? LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Assess vulnerable groups; involve stakeholders and governance questions surrounding critical infrastructures including resilience engineering measures to reduce/absorb shocks and stresses. DURATION: 1 short video (~6 min video)

Uncertainty and decision-making

These two presentations deal with decision making and understanding the implications of deep uncertainty from different perspectives. Student will learn to understand that uncertainty is present in all parts of decision-making and modeling and that this has (huge) implications for planning & policy-making and the (unintended) impact of such policies. Students will also learn understanding uncertainty from different perspectives: • Interconnectedness • Uncertain projections • Lack of (reliable) data • Cascading consequences • Risks • Options
