Coastal Impact on barrier Islands:

Application to Praia de Faro

RISCKIT Final Meeting

Theocharis Plomaritis, Oscar Ferreira and Susana Costas

Regional to Local: Hotspot Tool

• Transform offshore physical parameters into onshore hazard;

• Transform the hazard into impact for selected receptors;

• Surrogate the computationally expensive morphodynamic

simulations within an EWS using a BN

• Incorporate into the tool DRR measures so it can be used by coastal managers as a DSS.

RISCKIT Final Meeting 2017

Study Site – Praia de Faro


Coastal lagoon system protected by a barrier-island, with sandy shores and dunes.

Storms Hs > 3m; up to 6-7m

Tidal range up to 3.5 m

Storm surge < 1 m

Reduced river input

Early Warning and Decision Support System (EWS/DSS) for use on hot spots.

1. Traditional EWS incorporated in Delft-FEWS that

includes Tides/Surges-Waves-Morphodynamics 2. Store results in Bayesian Network for immediate

evaluation of event impact. 3. Evaluation of Disaster Risk Reduction measures

DRR measures Three DRR measures have been selected for the Praia de Faro case study (Considering end-users input from interviews): • Beach nourishment (T1) (hazard related, extra modelling)

• House removal (T2) (exposure related)

• Create and/or improve Communication Channels (T3)

(vulnerability related)


DRR measures • Beach nourishment (T1) (extra modelling )

Nourishment specification were adopted from regional authorities protection plan for Praia de Faro


DRR measures • House removal (T2)

Areas Selection:

• 4 areas based on exposure characteristics

Receptos Type

• Houses

• Infrastructure


DRR measures • Channels of Communication (T3)


Non-primary measures based on two primary measures: • Sandbags

• Constructions on Piles

Model Results Observed Hazard threshold

Hs vs Tp: Good separation of hazard/no hazard event


Model Results Proxy selection for Praia de Faro:

• Overwash: Max water Flux (cross-shore)

• Erosion: Vertical Erosion in 3 areas

Concluding remarks • Nourishment is the most effective DRR in reducing the impact

on the houses.

• The use of a BN in EWS could result in significant reduction of the computational effort.

• The method requires a large number of simulation for the initial setup but can result in a very useful tool the event scale protection measures.

• The inclusion of DRR measures makes the proposed tool useful also for long-term decision making process.
