11.3
Layer model of PEOPLES.
shown in Fig. 11.3. Then a radar graph can be plotted and the area will
determine the fi nal value of the resilience score (Fig. 11.4) for the region
of interest. This will identify gaps as well as priority actions, which will enter
in the decision process.
In summary, a schematic step-by-step procedure of the MCEER meth-
odology described in Fig. 11.5 is the following:
1. Defi ne extreme event scenarios (e.g. PSHA and ground motion
selection).
2. Defi ne the system model.
3.
Evaluate the response of the model.
4.
Compute performance measures (e.g. losses, recovery time, functional-
ity, resilience).
5.
Identify remedial mitigation actions (e.g. advanced technologies) and/
or resilience actions (e.g. resourcefulness, redundancy, etc.).
