Abstract

The seismic vulnerability of the old city centre of Faro is assessed in this paper resorting to a simplified assessment methodology from which different scenarios of physical damage and losses were obtained. Such results confirm a very unfavorable scenario but that can be used by governmental authorities and civil protection bodies to put into practice preventive mitigation measures in order to reduce vulnerability and improve the site/local resilience.
