Call

Enhanced assessment of disaster risks, adaptive capabilities and scenario building based on available historical data and projections

Summary

The assessment of disaster risks requires different types of actions ranging from soft measures to technologies.

Proposals will result to the following outcomes:

Innovative exposure and vulnerability analysis methods (e.g. social science, human health, cultural heritage, environment and biodiversity, public financial management and key economic sectors) and identifying key vulnerable groups and assets. Enhanced exploitation of monitoring data and satellite/remote sensing information as well as artificial intelligence to improve high-level assessment from international to local levels.

Detailed Call Description

Risk assessments themselves are primarily designed to predict the likelihood of a specific event, whereas what is of primary concern is the impact of that event on society, infrastructure, governance, etc.

Numerous experiences gathered in the natural hazards area showed that an enhanced assessment of risks and scenario building may  be improved by taking into account reliable data and historical occurrences, when available, including disaster loss data. This includes for example a higher completeness of the historical-geological records of volcanic eruptions, major earthquakes, tsunamis etc.

The action should take into account disaster loss databases and risk data repositories in Member States and relevant hubs.
