ADVANTAGES OF USING UNIVERSITY OF SARAJEVO CAMPUS FOR STAGING AND RELIEF PURPOSES DURING A MASS-CATASTROPHE IN AN URBAN AREA

Summary/Abstract: As the most populated municipal area in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the City of Sarajevo requires identification of a sufficient number of locations where it would be possible to carry out adequate triage, evacuation, care and temporary internment of citizens in the event of a major disaster. Based on a quick assessment, the city of Sarajevo has eight potential locations for humanitarian assistance to the large number of people; from those location, the area of the former Marshal Tito military barracks, now the University of Sarajevo Campus, represents an ideal location. The general characteristics of the terrain favor the adaptation into a safe forward-operating base in the event of major disasters (earthquakes, floods, landslides, industrial disasters, terrorism, etc.). The open layout, accessibility and availability of additional infrastructure or force-multipliers from land (road or rail traffic) and from the air (helicopters of all classes) represent a stable baseline for evacuation and supply of the base itself and the entire city region. Through an integrated planning approach, which includes all potential hazards and all potential stakeholders, the selection of the Campus and inclusion in the planning and exercise system is a solid foundation for emergency response and an opportunity reclaim some of the past glory in the area of societal self-protection.
