A multi-purpose and multi-scale tool for the seismic vulnerability and risk classification of critical buildings, such as schools, is proposed for pre- and post-event decision-making to mitigate the risk and reduce losses. The herein proposed “RiskSchools” system, is capable of performing the seismic risk assessment and grading of school buildings at various scales (district, municipality, region etc.), using (a) a pre-seismic rapid visual screening and grading of the school buildings in different vulnerability-risk classes and (b) a seismic risk assessment of the school buildings population, applying probabilistic or scenario-based methods for the seismic hazard and analytical methods for the vulnerability and risk assessment, also leading to a grading of the buildings’ risk. The results of the two approaches are compared and combined through a flexible and adaptable expert elicitation scheme to provide a final classification of the seismic risk of the school buildings in the scale of interest and a prioritization scheme with respect to the need for seismic upgrade and retrofitting. The RiskSchools system consists of a powerful, state-of-the-art, user-friendly, and easy-to-use smartphone application for the compilation of the inventory and the rapid visual screening, and a project-dedicated multi-purpose webGIS platform for the seismic vulnerability and risk classification of school buildings at any scale. Although it is initially developed and applied to the school building stock of the Region of Central Macedonia in Greece, it has been specifically designed to be easily applied to other regions of Greece and worldwide and adapted to other critical buildings, like health care and hospital buildings. The ultimate scope of the RiskSchools System is to allow for the optimal design of decision-making procedures in support of disaster management to enhance critical buildings resilience.

提出了一种多用途、多尺度的工具，用于对学校等关键建筑物进行地震脆弱性和风险分类，用于事前和事后决策，以减轻风险并减少损失。本文提出的“RiskSchools”系统能够使用（a）学校地震前快速视觉筛选和分级，对不同规模（区、市、地区等）的学校建筑进行地震风险评估和分级(b) 对学校建筑群进行地震风险评估，应用概率或基于情景的地震灾害方法和分析方法进行脆弱性和风险评估，从而对建筑物进行分级' 风险。通过灵活且适应性强的专家启发方案对两种方法的结果进行比较和组合，以提供感兴趣范围内校舍地震风险的最终分类，以及关于抗震升级和改造需求的优先级方案。 RiskSchools 系统由一个功能强大、最先进、用户友好且易于使用的智能手机应用程序组成，用于编制清单和快速视觉筛选，以及一个项目专用的多用途 webGIS 平台任何规模的学校建筑的地震脆弱性和风险分类。虽然它最初是为希腊中马其顿地区的学校建筑群开发和应用的，但它经过专门设计，可以轻松应用于希腊和世界各地的其他地区，并适用于其他关键建筑，如医疗保健和医院建筑。 RiskSchools 系统的最终范围是允许决策程序的优化设计，以支持灾害管理，从而增强关键建筑物的复原力。
