Workshop Overview and Objectives:
Resilience is the ability to prepare for anticipated hazards, adapt to changing conditions, and withstand and recover rapidly from disruptions. In 2015, the National Institute of Standards and Technology funded the Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning (CoE), consisting of 14 universities, to establish a basis for measuring community resilience with a computational environment to achieve this goal. An ever increasing volume of resilience-focused research is being pursued worldwide, ranging from single commercial facilities seeking to maintain continuity of operations to community, regional, and national scales. The Interconnected Networked Community Resilience Modeling Environment (IN-CORE) platform developed by the CoE will provide you with powerful tools to analyze the resilience of your community and its physical, social, and economic components. IN-CORE has the ability to model lifelines, their interdependency with each other, with buildings and social and economic models of a community or region.
The goals of the workshop are to:
- Learn core concepts and technology for IN-CORE application
- Learn to use the IN-CORE platform by developing a Jupyter notebook
- Damage analysis for Water Networks and Electrical Power Facilities due to natural hazard including earthquakes
At the end of this workshop you’ll be able to analyze a simple lifelines network and have the tools to begin exploring on your own. The workshop is for students, faculty, industry modelers, and anyone interesting in exploring the capabilities of IN-CORE and quantifying the performance of lifelines and other structures and infrastructure subject to natural hazard events.
Prerequisite: Please sign up for a free IN-CORE account by following instructions at https://incore.ncsa.illinois.edu/doc/incore/account.html
Required: Remember to bring your own laptop!
