El pasado 4 de mayo de 2024 se realizó un simulacro de terremoto en Arenas del Rey (Granada), organizado por la Dra. Yolanda Torres del grupo TERRA. Este simulacro se enmarca dentro del proyecto SISMO-RESILIENCIA, financiado por la oficina de aprendizaje servicio de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid ¿Qué es un simulacro de terremoto?

Classifying buildings according to seismic vulnerability using Cluster-ANN techniques: application to the city of Murcia, Spain
The seismic vulnerability of a city is a degree of its intrinsic susceptibility or predisposition to sustain damage or losses stemming from seismic events. In terms of physical vulnerability, one of the most important factors for assessing seismic risk, especially, for estimating losses, is the exposure of structures, particularly those structures intended for residential use.
Extending urban seismic risk assessment to open spaces for the 2011 Lorca earthquake scenario
We extend the conventional seismic risk assessment approach to open spaces in the 2011 Lorca earthquake scenario. Conventional approaches to seismic risk provide estimates of damaged buildings mainly related to structural failure. The damage related to the production of debris in damaged buildings and its spread in the surrounding space receives a secondary role. However, in many cases, this secondary damage is of prime importance.
Assessing Building Habitability after an Earthquake Using Building Typology and Damage Grade. Application in Lorca, Spain
The present study proposes a statistical methodology to rate the habitability of different types of buildings after an earthquake. The first step was to rank variables that affect the vulnerability of a building and formulate a statistical study with a discrimination index that makes it possible to identify buildings as habitable or non-habitable.
