7. Brussels, 6 February 2012 - Joint kick-off meeting of the selected projects under the Call OJ 2011/C49/09 Urban Disaster Prevention Strategies Using MAcroseismic Fields and FAult Sources (UPStrat-MAFA) why the project is necessary and its innovative aspects an innovative approach is performed in which a unique probabilistic procedure processes macroseismic fields (historical information) and characteristics of fault sources the new concept of global disruption measures (Disruption Index) is introduced with the objective to provide a systematic way to measure earthquake impact in urban areas disaster prevention strategies based on an education information system is developed with comparative study of how the education information system is addressed in the different EU-countries participating in the project This is a new tool for the Civil Protection, the authorities and local decision makers that goes beyond the What happens; instead, it dips into the What should we do in order to minimize the consequences of what is expected to happen, so as to prioritize mitigation and response actions
