@pasky_v Our project has received today the recognition of several Italian organizations dealing with fire safety, under "la sfida Europea della FSE"
Thanks @pasky_v for being our embassadress in Bergamo and congratulations for your job!!👏👏👏

Workshop on vulnerability analysis with homeowners of past #Lloret WUI fire
👫🏠👫 An engaged community helped us to test our Vulnerability Assessment Tool
Thanks @annaaulet and @Lloret_de_Mar for hosting this event and @S_FontsecaRiera and @agentsruralscat for participating!

@RalfHuber10 @agentsruralscat Hi Ralf, we are interested in analysing the fire incident that took place in Lloret. Could you share this video (and other data you may have) with us? Could you send those to our email [email protected] ? thanks!

[Elsa Pastor @elsa_pastor]

Hi folks! I'll be giving soon a webinar organized by the LOF&BE group @IAFSS on #WUI fires in Mediterranean Europe, with special attention on recent EU research advances: @Guardian_UIA and @wuiview projects!

📆April 14th, 16h (CEST)

Next LOF&BE Webinar: April 14 3 pm London (10 am US East Coast) Dr. Elsa Pastor @elsa_pastor (UPC, Spain) talks about WUI Fires in Mediterranean Europe: Current Research and Innovation Actions to Increase Communities Resilience; Registration: https://t.co/E8MwtBfuBd

[UQ Fire @UQFire]

Due to a large number of requests for late submission for #AOSFST2021, we have decided to extend the Abstract Submission Deadline until Friday 16th April 2021. We hope that this helps those of you not being able to meet today’s deadline.

A final PBD study case is co-presented by Miguel Almeida (ADAI) and Alba Àgueda (UPC) regarding a community shelter in Central Portugal. In this case the building will be designed to be fire-resistant.

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Now it is turn of Johan Sjöström (RISE) presenting a study case in Sweden, near Göteborg, a typical Swedish house with some complications with hedges. However, FDS does not consider embers, which is a real threat @WUIVIEW Final Workshop

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Now Johan analyses and discusses on the temperatures obtained and the chances of houses to burn. Hedges play a key role in this scenario. @WUIVIEW Final Workshop

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Pascale shows how the special problem of a LPG tank is presenting a potential threat, so further detailed analysis of LPG tank should be done. From all simulations, some modifications of the design must be followed (glazing systems and LPG tanks) and re-evaluate the scenarios

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Pascale Vacca (UPC) is showing the results of PBD application to the real #WUI study case in Spain (Las Rozas de Puerto Real) @WUIVIEW Final Workshop

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Eulàlia underlines the imporance of a good selection and description of significant fire scenarios for such an specific case as #WUI (high frequencies - low consequences, or low fequencies - high consequences)

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Eulàlia Planas (UPC) is presenting the PBD approach rationale, used in other domains for several years such as building fire safety, as applied to the risk assessment in the #WUI fire scenarios. In the @WUIVIEW Final Workshop

[David Caballero @david_gnomusy]

Valerio Cozzani is Professor of the Chemical Engineering Dept. at the University of Bolonia (UNIBO) and will chair the last block of the @WUIVIEW Final Workshop. Now the presentations will focus on the Performance-Based Design applied to the protection of houses in the #WUI

[WUIVIEW @wuiview]

We have just finished the 2nd session of our final Workshop, where we have been talking about our toolboxes specifically designed for selfprotection and fire risk awareness. Let's go with the third round: PBD for vulenrability analysis 🔥
