seminar on DISASTER RISK ANALYSIS
International Educational Outreach, De La Salle University
Wednesday, July 17, 2013
The conceptual and theoretical foundations for the inoperability Input-Output Model (IIM) were established by Haimes and Jiang (2001)*. A few years later, Santos and Haimes (2004)** developed a methodology for transforming economic input-output data to study the cascading impacts of inoperability across interdependent systems. Since then, other scholars from USA, Italy, China, and the Philippines have published dozens of journal articles on various methodological extensions and practical applications of the IIM. This seminar presented a review of the static formulation of the IIM with demonstrations using actual I-O data from the USA and the Philippines. A dynamic formulation was also introduced to define the resilience coefficient, or the capability of an economic sector to recover to its 'business as usual' production status after a disruptive event. Case studies were presented to describe the effects of various disasters on coupled workforce-infrastructure systems.

On July 17, 2013, Prof. Santos was invited by DLSU to present a seminar on disaster risk assessment and management. Particular focus was placed on how the inoperability input-output model could be implemented in the Philippines. This seminar was an extension of the Visiting Scientist Program of the Department of Science and Technology.
