Algeria is exposed to a wide range of major natural hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, and floods. These risks pose a significant threat to public safety, the sustainability of infrastructure, and national socio-economic development.

The cities of Chlef, Algiers, and Boumerdes—severely affected by devastating earthquakes in 1980 and 2003, as well as floods in 2010—demonstrate the vulnerability of urban areas to natural disasters and highlight the urgent need to integrate prevention and resilience into civil engineering practices.

Conference Objective

The human, economic, and social impacts of these disasters serve as a stark reminder of the importance of effective risk assessment, management, and mitigation strategies.

Analyze and share lessons learned from past disasters to better anticipate and mitigate future risks.

Develop advanced modeling tools and probabilistic approaches to assess structural reliability and performance.

Promote a culture of resilience by integrating infrastructure safety, monitoring, and maintenance practices.

Modernize infrastructure engineering practices and strengthen governance frameworks.

Foster cooperation between universities, research laboratories, engineering firms, public institutions, and industry to establish a coherent national strategy.

Position Boumerdès as a living laboratory, where the memory of past catastrophes serves as a driver for scientific, educational, and practical innovation.
