Novel Concept

<p>The Platform for Atlantic Geohazard Risk Management (AGEO) is a new project co-financed under the Interreg Programme for the Atlantic Area which aims to launch five Citizens’ Observatory pilots on geohazards according to regional priorities:</p><ul><li>Citizens’ observatory on rockfalls and rockfall-triggers in the <strong>Canary Islands, Spain</strong></li> <li>Peat-slides and peat massmovement monitoring and control in <strong>Cuilcagh Mountain, Northern Ireland</strong></li> <li>Multihazard Citizens’ Observatory in <strong>Lisbon, Portugal</strong></li> <li>Citizens’ observatory of slope instability monitoring along the <strong>Cliffs of Moher, Ireland</strong></li> <li>Citizens’ observatory of vulnerability to coastal Risks in <strong>Brittany, france</strong></li> </ul><p>These will demonstrate how citizens’ involvement in geohazard risks prevention can strengthen regional and national risk management systems. Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal) leads the consortium of AGEO that also counts with several other partners from Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.</p><p>AGEO will engage with local communities to actively participate in risk preparedness and monitoring and incorporate local capacities into risk management systems. Experiences gained during the implementation of the Citizens’ Observatory pilots will be used to formulate recommendations for the creation of future observatories in response to the widest range of hazards (both natural and human-induced) faced in the Atlantic region.</p><p>The Observatories are part of the phenomenon of citizen science.  As defined by the EC, “Citizens' Observatories are community-based environmental monitoring and information systems. They build on innovative and novel Earth observation applications embedded in portable or mobile personal devices.  This means that citizens can help and be engaged in observing our environment.”</p><p>There are many other definitions, as it is still a novel concept, but for this project the one above will be used. It is an observatory in a sense that we need careful monitoring of the risks that will be defined per region in line with a set of parameters to be defined through engaging with participating citizens to be filled in by the participating citizens. This approach lends the opportunity of collecting large amounts of data for very little to no money with the added bonus of the territorial coverage such approach can grant. Additionally, spatial data infrastructures and services already in place, e.g. Copernicus, will support the assessment and monitoring of geohazards and risk management systems.</p><p>AGEO is also organizing workshops in each participating region to ensure the citizens understand the role they play in preventing and mitigating natural risks by being part of the observatories and hopefully encouraging new members to join. These workshops will be held in the national language of the region and are to be tailored to the different audiences and will democratize the use of the observatories by listening to the people using them and taking into account their needs.</p><p> </p><div> <div> <div> </div> </div> </div>

Geohazard Risk

A 1,050 km long 20” pipeline was constructed to transport natural gas from northern Argentina to the coast of Chile. On the Argentine side, significant portions of the route traverse rugged mountainous terrain subject to landslides, debris flows, flash floods, and earthquakes. On the Chilean side (situated up to 5,000 m above sea level), the pipeline crosses active faults and terminates at locations historically subject to tsunami. The pipeline began operation in 1999. An outburst flood in a steep mountain stream caused the pipeline to rupture in 2001. Reactivation of a large rock slide in 2002 caused a second rupture. It appeared that the original design had underestimated the route’s exposure to geohazards, and efforts were required to improve pipeline safety and reliability. A geohazard risk management program was initiated in April 2002. Geohazards were identified and characterized through airphoto interpretation and field inspection. Sites were initially ranked using semi-quantitative risk estimates. Risk cost-benefit analyses were used to select optimal risk control measures at high ranking geohazard sites. These included monitoring programs, reconstruction of stream crossings, reroutes, and in one instance, landslide avoidance using a horizontal directional drill. Risk control measures were implemented between 2002 and 2006, and additional efforts are ongoing. An updated assessment of geohazard exposure was completed in 2005 with the objective of quantifying the level of risk reduction that had been achieved and prioritizing further risk reduction efforts. This paper describes implementation of the geohazard risk management program using a case history format. It highlights the techniques used to control the range of hazard that were identified in 2002 and to quantify the improvements achieved by 2006. The paper concludes with an overview of additional risk reduction initiatives that are in progress or under consideration.

Engaging citizens in Citizens Observatories requires the development of outreach strategies seeking to understand expectations and develop attitudes, behaviours and competencies relevant for the aims and activities of the observatories.</p><p>The AGEO Consortium identified and targeted relevant stakeholders using Mendelow’s (1991) power-interest matrix, and developed perceptual maps of stakeholders, adapted for each of the five Citizens’ Observatory pilots. This approach was the basis for the development of tailored value propositions formulated to raise awareness on geohazards  and mobilize citizens participation.</p><p>AGEO is also using storytelling to inspire the general public to action and emotionally implicate non-specialised audiences. This approach is being used to educate children at school age and to reach their parents (in the pilot regions).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Mendelow, A. L., 1991.
