INFP and CRMD have recently developed a framework capable of analyzing direct and indirect implications of natural hazards on transportation networks. This is currently embedded into an ArcGIS toolbox entitled Network-risk, which has been successfully tested for Bucharest, contributing to an insightful evaluation of emergency intervention times for ambulances and firefighters, in the case of an earthquake.

You will find in the files two versions of the toolbox: 1 (explained and used in Toma-Danila et al., 2020) and 2 (under review, along with the sample dataset for Bucharest). New improved versions are soon going to be published.

INFP, CRMD and UCL have developed a framework capable of analyzing the implications of natural hazards on transportation networks, also in a time-dependent manner. This is currently embedded into an ArcGIS toolbox entitled Network-risk, which has been successfully tested for Bucharest, contributing to an insightful evaluation of emergency intervention times for ambulances and firefighters, in the case of an earthquake. The files and the user manual allow a replication of our recent analysis in Toma-Danila et al. (2022) and a download of results (such as affected roads and unaccesible areas in Bucharest), in various formats. Some of the results are also presented in an ArcGIS Online app, called "Riscul seismic al Bucurestiului" (The seismic risk of Bucharest), available at https://tinyurl.com/yt32aeyx. In the files you can find: - the Bucharest road network used in the article; - facilities for Bucharest and Ilfov, such as hospitals, firestations, buildings with seismic risk or tramway lines accesible by emergency vehicles - results of the analysis: unaccesible roads and areas, service areas around facilities, closest facilities for representative points - Excel calculator for Z elevation from OpenStreetMap data - the user manual and a ArcGIS toolbox.
