With this version participants in the HAZUR certification process have a first contact with the HAZUR® software to test, play and experiment with it.

HAZUR Assessment

Helps to summarize all city data, to analyze interdependencies in service networks, to assess impacts aftermaths and cascade effects. It also enables the identification and prioritization of potential improvement projects, facilitates the definition of crisis management protocols and supports a strategy development process.

HAZUR Manager

Combines the Assessment information with real-time information and enables the simulation of risk situations at city level (city modelled as a system of systems). It also equips the cities and experts with tools for service network monitoring, risks management and city stakeholders coordination.

Our platform provides support for decision-makers allowing you to:

GATHER ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION

You will be able to introduce the critical information necessary to start your assessment process.

CREATE A COMMUNITY OF RESILIENCE STAKEHOLDERS

Resilience is builded on top of a strong resilience community. Their implication will be crucial, and HAZUR tool will help you to engage them, to provide a common language and to create trust and synergies.

MODEL YOUR CITY

The city is a system of systems. Use HAZUR to model it and to understand the operative relations and interdependencies between the different municipal services and related infrastructures. Then SIMULATE how they respond in front of any impact.

WATCH OVER YOUR CITY

City managers need to have a strategic and operative approach about how their city are reacting in front of impacts. HAZUR creates a reallyeasy-to-use SITUATION ROOM, providing visualization of real time data of all the city ata glance.

A PIONEER COMPANY IN URBAN RESILENCE

Barcelona City Council, in collaboration with IQS, started the 3S Project, aimed to guarantee the continuity of service supply in the city under any situation of urban impact.

As a result of this collaboration, the first Barcelona Resilience Board was set up, now successfully running & supporting the management and the coordination of urban services.

Building on this success, OptiCits was established as a private spin-off to develop solutions potentially applicable to any city. OptiCits currently shares its experiences and knowledge via an online Certification Programme in Urban Resilience. The Programme gives free access to the HAZUR tool while requiring to follow a training and certification process; it involves international R&D centers from France, USA and UK and allows the creation of a global network of Certified Urban Resilience Experts from cities and organizations.
