Assessment, risk prediction or mitigation plans for different physical phenomena are sometimes similar and other are specific.

Purpose:• Promote good practices (guide)• Share best action for effective implementation• Avoid potential contradictions of regulations• Identify axes for new development

Methodology:• Analyze European recent hazard events (flooding, severe weather, earthquakes, slides, accidents…)• Quantify resilience from different points of view (damages, loss, economic cost..)• Consider resilience in risk scenario• Apply risk and resilience methodology to specific case studies

Project Idea: Development of Adaptation/Prevention Plans for multi-hazard risk-prone areas (cities)

geographical areas: coastal, mountain…economic strategic activity: civil infrastr., cities, industrial areas

• Several EU RTDs leaders in risk/resilience assessment • Relevant stakeholders• Telecommunications…

• Vulnerability and risk studies (holistic risk approach)• Development and use of indicators &indices, • Probabilistic modeling of hazards• Development of urban risk scenarios • Economic evaluations for risk transfer and financial protection• Management of uncertainties by means of Monte Carlo tests• Decision Support Systems (DSS) • Integration of data from wireless sensors networks/ multi-origin

The Consortium

Expertise & contribution

We would like to add…

• Experts in climate change scenarios• Community/society resilience• Other RTD members with commitment from relevant end-users in new pilot sites• ….

Involved in FP7 EC Projects SERGISAI, VAB, RISK-UE, RAMFLOOD, LESSLOSS, DESURBS and MOVE CIMNE participates in important projects in the field of disaster risk evaluation and management funded by the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction of United Nations (UN-ISDR).
