The paper introduces an integrated platform that implements a community hybrid model with real-time simulation capabilities to assess seismic resilience and vulnerability of critical infrastructures at the urban level. Different seismic scenarios have been applied to a large-scale virtual city model, proving the platform's effectiveness in analyzing emergencies and implementing countermeasures to improve community response and overall resilience.
Due to the increasing frequency of disastrous events, the challenge of creating large-scale simulation models has become of major significance. Indeed, several simulation strategies and methodologies have been recently developed to explore the response of communities to natural disasters. Such models can support decision-makers during emergency operations allowing to create a global view of the emergency identifying consequences. An integrated platform that implements a community hybrid model with real-time simulation capabilities is presented in this paper. The platform's goal is to assess seismic resilience and vulnerability of critical infrastructures (e.g., built environment, power grid, socio-technical network) at the urban level, taking into account their interdependencies. Finally, different seismic scenarios have been applied to a large-scale virtual city model. The platform proved to be effective to analyze the emergency and could be used to implement countermeasures that improve community response and overall resilience.
