Resum

Challenge 0 of the PIKSEL project assesses the probable losses due to seismic and flood risks initially in the Pla de Barcelona and certain areas of the coast, as representative cases of the territory's resilience in the face of certain conditions natural hazards.

However, this Challenge's scope will necessarily be greater as the work progresses. It is, in fact, a predictive tool for assessing the effects of various natural disasters. We are talking about disruptive shocks that suddenly manifest themselves as the force of nature and have a high potential for impact on anthropogenic structures. It can be an earthquake, a storm associated with floods, or a heatwave. In any case, the Challenge is to find and develop instruments, methodologies, and models that improve the predictive capacity of the management and planning of the territory towards these possible events.

This Challenge is divided into two sub-challenges that are currently being worked on:

• R0.1 Probabilistic assessment of seismic risk
• R0.2 Probabilistic and episodic flood risk assessment.
