The work plan

In the AGILE project, we have structured our work into 8 work packages (WPs), each comprising various tasks. The figure below provides an overview, illustrating the interdependencies among the WPs. To learn more about the specific tasks and objectives within each work package, please explore further details.

WP 1

Conceptualizing HILP as Concurrent, Cascading and Systemic Events

WP Leader: University College of London

Objectives

  • Conceptualize and define HILP as compound, cascading and systemic risks and develop a taxonomy
  • Identify common conditions between HILP and HIHP events
  • Propose a consistent approach for assessing drivers of escalation and common points of failure
  • Define the possible use of creative/lateral thinking for systematizing an approach to tabletop exercises and scenario building

WP 2

Multi-Disciplinary HILP Reference Library

WP Leader: Delft University of Technology

Objectives

  • Leverage advances in information and data collection to establish an architecture and database of HILP events that draws together the different HILP cases
  • Machine learning-based analysis of HILP events (magnitude, cascading effects, effectiveness of interventions)
  • Co-create a reference library of HILP along with associated risk management interventions

WP 3

Risk and Resilience Stress Test Methodology

WP Leader: Factor Social

Objectives

  • Develop the stress testing methodological framework to map systems’ interdependencies in economic, social, and physical domains
  • Develop the methodologies for identifying and managing systems resilience to HILP events, including strength and direction of cascading failures, to enhance infrastructure preparedness and community resilience

WP 4

Scenario Co-development and Stress Test Implementation

WP Leader: Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe e.V.

Objectives

  • Create baseline scenarios to be tested in case studies
  • Implementation of 9 STT1 assessing and managing risk and resilience for critical infrastructure
  • Implementation of 7 STT2s assessing cross-domain connectivity of systemic functions and expressing overall risk and resilience in the units of utility
  • Implementation of 2 STT3 revealing the impact of any disruption to critical functions enabling effective risk and resilience management plans to be developed

WP 5

Evidence-based Planning, Capacity Building and Risk Communication

WP Leader: Prepared International UG

Objectives

  • Contribute to the development of DRM domestic and regional/border governance approaches for HILP
  • Define multi-dimensional integrated data preparedness requirements for evidence-based planning for HILP events
  • Formulate comprehensive guidelines for evidence-based planning and management for HILP
  • Upon analysis of HILP data from the STs, develop an operational HILP capacity development approach using innovative training, simulation and data analyses technologies
  • Develop a handbook for risk communication strategies on HILP events including interagency and public alerting protocols
