“…The tsunami were from local and distant sources, with some causing great devastation beyond Aotearoa, such as the 1868 AD Chilean Tsunami that originated from the magnitude 9 Arica earthquake, with damaging tsunami waves throughout the Pacific region (Lomnitz 2004). In Aotearoa, the physical impacts of this tsunami were greatest on the East coast of Aotearoa, and on Rēkohu (Chatham Islands) (Goff 2021;Thomas et al 2020). The tsunami had run-up heights of up to 10 m and was able to move boulders of up to 500 kg (Goff & Chagué-Goff 2001).…”

Climate change relocation of Indigenous communities is increasing globally. For Māori (the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand), many pā (complexes of significant structures) are at risk to climate change impacts with relocation as one potential adaptation option. For Indigenous peoples, this step is not taken lightly, as connection to place is imperative. The aim of this research is to highlight some histories of Māori communities relocating in response to natural hazards, providing insights from the past to help plan for future adaptation. To do this, we undertook a national-scale textual analysis and identified 51 examples of pā relocating in response to natural hazards since pre-1840. We then focused on a case study with members of two iwi (tribes), who relocated following the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera to identify enablers and barriers to relocation, and to draw insights to assist with Māori-led responses to climate change adaptation. We found that key enablers of relocation included whānau (family)-level decision-making, cultural norms of awhi (support), whanaungatanga (relationships), whakapapa (genealogical connection), koha (donation), tuku whenua (gifts of land), and mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge). In summary, Māori and other Indigenous peoples have rich histories of relocations, utilising their own Indigenous knowledge, local implementation, and adaptability to natural hazards that can be implemented in our modern context.

“…Buildings, bridges, subways, roads, pipeline networks, and similar kinds of civil infrastructures are essential for and closely related to economic and social activities [1]. However, they are vulnerable to natural disasters and human-caused hazards, which can cause huge threats to human, economic, and social security [2].…”

Natural disasters can cause severe damages to civil infrastructure and lead to extensive economic losses and casualties. To improve the emergency response capability of civil infrastructure under extreme circumstances such as natural disasters and human-caused hazards, intelligent technology for infrastructure emergency management has been extensively studied. As an emerging paradigm of interdisciplinary convergence, digital twins (DTs) can integrate intelligent technology into different stages of emergency management and provide a new solution for the emergency management of civil infrastructure (EMCI). However, applications of DT in EMCI have several limitations and are mostly case by case. However, the sector needs more generalisable lessons to address the greater value of DT in the context of EMCI. To address this gap, we first carry out a systematic literature review and analyse the latest progress and previous research deficiencies of DT by taking the scientometrical approach. Next, a framework is proposed to explain how DT can be applied to the mitigation, preparation, response, and recovery stages of EMCI. Lastly, the trends and prospects of DT applications in EMCI are discussed. Overall, the knowledge gained from this study will promote the research and development of more-viable DTs to address the sector’s demand for emergency management.

“…The frequency and scale of natural hazards have been increasing since the 2000s and bringing huge losses and casualties to the world (UNDRR 2020 ; Goff 2021 ). Various natural hazards not only pose great challenges to the disaster prevention and mitigation capacity of infrastructure but also present major demands for the response of rescue and recovery (Novelo-Casanova et al 2021 ).…”

Natural hazards, which have the potential to cause catastrophic damage and loss to infrastructure, have increased significantly in recent decades. Thus, the construction demand for disaster prevention and mitigation for infrastructure (DPMI) systems is increasing. Many studies have applied intelligence technologies to solve key aspects of infrastructure, such as design, construction, disaster prevention and mitigation, and rescue and recovery; however, systematic construction is still lacking. Digital twin (DT) is one of the most promising technologies for multi-stage management which has great potential to solve the above challenges. This paper initially puts forward a scientific concept, in which DT drives the construction of intelligent disaster prevention and mitigation for infrastructure (IDPMI) systematically. To begin with, a scientific review of DT and IDPMI is performed, where the development of DT is summarized and a DT-based life cycle of infrastructures is defined. In addition, the intelligence technologies used in disaster management are key reviewed and their relative merits are illustrated. Furthermore, the development and technical feasibility of DT-driven IDPMI are illustrated by reviewing the relevant practice of DT in infrastructure. In conclusion, a scientific framework of DT-IDPMI is programmed, which not only provides some guidance for the deep integration between DT and IDPMI but also identifies the challenges that inspire the professional community to advance these techniques to address them in future research.
