Aims: As it represents the final point of the whole rescue chain, hospital infrastructure is one of the most important elements of medical response to earthquakes. In order to correctly manage the emergency by providing the most efficient medical response, it is fundamental to carry out a simple, rapid and reliable risk assessment of seismic impact on hospitals. The purpose of this work was to develop a decision support system for helping the decision makers with the seismic risk mitigation of health structures. Main Findings: A new integrated methodology was designed to identify vulnerabilities in the hospital based on a combination of two main research approaches: the theory of complex systems (Leontief model and Fault Tree Analysis) and ...
