About CLiP
The objective of this collaborative research project is to measure the post-disaster mobility/accessibility to critical hospital facilities in Portland for immediate response to address life safety needs. Hospitals and other major medical facilities that have surgery and emergency treatment areas are considered significant structures or essential facilities according to ORS 455.447 (Oregon Resilience Plan, 2013).
These critical facilities are located on both sides of the Willamette River with eight major bridges connecting both sides. The disaster scenarios considered are the magnitude 6.5 Portland Hills Fault earthquake and Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) earthquake with magnitudes of 8.1, 8.3, 8.7, and 9.0. The accessibility map (i.e., usable routes and likely travel time) to the critical facilities will be mapped to O-HELP under distinct earthquake events.
This is a collaborative project integrating three areas: transportation network analysis, bridge fragility assessment under hazard impacts, and GIS mapping to O-HELP
