Integrating Cascading Disasters in London's Response and Preparedness Strategies

25 May 2017

We started a new collaboration with London Resilience (www.londonprepared.gov.uk) to integrate our work in preparedness strategies and contingency planning.

Disasters in London's Response and Preparedness Strategies

The goals are:

1)         Apply the theory of cascading disasters to test the multi-agency capacity to respond to electricity supply disruptions, such as blackouts.

2)         Apply the theory of cascading disasters to improve strategic-level awareness for major disruptions of transportation.

3) Define a replicable assessment process that could be complementary to wider impact trees, scenarios and contingency planning.

Further materials will be published soon on this website and on the official .
