Vegetation recovery monitoring is critical for assessing denudation areas after landslides have occurred. A long-term and broad area investigation using remote sensing techniques is an efficient and cost-effective approach incorporating the consideration of radiometric correction and seasonality variations across multi-date satellite images. This paper investigates long-term vegetation recovery...

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive natural disasters with devastating consequences on people and their supporting infrastructure. To alleviate earthquake consequences, recovery process building systems, essential for providing continued operation, should be considered during design building. This study presents a novel, probabilistic, building-level framework modeling evaluating entire...

The concept of seismic resilience needs a quantitative evaluation. The evaluation suggested in this paper is based on nondimensional analytical functions related to variations of losses within a specified “recovery period”. The resilience refers to both direct and indirect losses. The path to recovery usually depends on available resources and may take different shapes, which can be estimated b...

background in the past 10 years, 13 fatal earthquakes have occurred in iran and led to death of 30,000 people whom most of them were killed in the earlier hours of the disaster. disaster medical assistance teams are groups of trained medical and non-medical personnel with various combinations that on the optimal conditions are deployed just within 8 hours of notification and are able to work se...

Earthquake and tsunami disasters always bring negative impacts losses for humans. The high frequency of earthquake in Sulawesi the massive impact destruction damage to infrastructure, loss homes property, death people are partly due lack knowledge this potential disaster by surrounding community. Therefore, it is necessary study on Island, Lesson Learned about Disaster that has occurred past. T...
