6th International Disaster and Risk Conference IDRC 2016 Integrative Risk Management - Towards Resilient Cities. 28 August - 01 September 2016 in Davos, Switzerland
The document discusses building resilience in modern societies against emerging threats. It argues that as systems become more interconnected, threats that disrupt critical infrastructure and services also increase. To build resilience, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation across civil protection, operators, communities, research networks and consider challenges like climate change and cybersecurity. Successfully resisting, adapting and recovering from disruptive events requires viewing resilience as a long-term investment rather than just a cost. Bringing different actors together to increase resilience levels is key to addressing an increasingly interconnected and challenging world.

This document discusses approaches for designing critical infrastructure systems under uncertainty from socioeconomic and climate change. It suggests applying safety factors or designing flexible systems to deal with an uncertain future. Quantitative decision models were used to determine the optimal safety factor and measure the value of flexibility. The models showed the safety factor should be higher for inflexible systems and lower for flexible ones. Flexibility is more valuable when there is potential for significant learning and changes over the system's lifetime. The regulatory framework, such as requiring a risk-based versus rule-based approach, also influences design choices. The document concludes with design recommendations based on optimizing safety factors and valuing flexibility under different types and degrees of uncertainty.

We’ve a gap…
•There's a lack of multi-disciplinary
and harmonized training and
education at EU level in the field
of Critical Infrastructure Protection
and Resilience.
Why a training session in CIPR?

• Preparedness: “We will then support
…. awareness raising, training, joint
courses….”
• Annex V Roadmap: Agree on
preparedness measures, such as
contingency planning, stress tests,
awareness raising, training
programmes, joint courses,
exercises and/or staff exchanges. DG

What has been done till now?
• Training to EU Member
States (2015)
• Training to operatos of
infrastructures (2016)
12. 12
Take home messages
• A long process: Lots of planning and time is
needed
• An international organization may act as a catalyst
• Trust building is fundamental
• Involvement of Academia is important but needs
to be balanced with practical examples
• Operators-to-operators training is a key to success
• Use of practical examples – table top exercises
13. 13
Future?
• Take on board the feedback from the
stakeholders and improve the curriculum
• Disseminate it to the community as a best
practice
• What to do and what to be avoided on the
basis of our experience
• Develop an online training platform to be
used by the community
