Abstract
Resilience is defined as the ability to mitigate hazards disposing a prompt strategy for recovering activities. Many papers are available in literature describing community resilience performances, but very few describe how to quantitative measure this index and which tools to use. The paper presents a software for evaluating community resilience index using the PEOPLES framework methodology. A critical comparison with similar softwares already available in literature is given emphasizing strengths and weakness with respect to the new proposed software, that has a user friendly graphical interface in Google earth environment. Finally the program and the methodology are tested using the case study of the 2009 Italian earthquake in L'Aquila that mainly affected historical monumental buildings in downtown L'Aquila. Four different scenario events are assumed to describe the reconstruction phase (recovery) and compared using the proposed platform.Pubblicazioni consigliate
