Bridging the world of:

• policymakers — who ideally

develop public policy based on

sound scientific evidence — and

• scientists who develop that

evidence in the first place.

Dealing with the information overload

• Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre

DRMKC

The DRMKC gathers together different European Commission's services, European countries and the whole community dealing with disasters to manage disaster risk in a more coordinated way.

Enhanced effectiveness of better coordinated policies based on Knowledge transfer across sectors.

The DRMKC aims to integrate and consolidate existing scientific multi-disciplinary knowledge to co-develop innovative solutions for existing needs.

Science for DRM Reports

It has been the base for the development of theDRMKC-CONRIS training on DRM at theUniversities of:

- Saxion UAS (the Netherlands) in April 2018- Coventry University (UK) in November 2018.- Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain)

in February 2019.- Deventer UAS (the Netherlands) in March

Science for DRM 2020

Open process: everyone is welcome to contribute!Multi-hazard approach: from asset perspectiveIdentification of solutions through the analysis of case studiesClimate Change is one of the driving and cross-cutting topics Focus on Impact Assessment

Recommendations for NRA

Towards more coherent and consistent RA methodologies to make risks arising from different hazards comparable

To understand the relative importance of different risks for a given region

In order to assist decision makers in DRM in their prioritising of DRM planning and actions

Bridging science and policy

Scientific community

Decision makers in DRM:

• Ministries

• Civil Protection Groups

Direct contribution of 9 JRC research groups:

- Droughts- Earthquakes- Floods- Natech- Nuclear Accidents- Critical Infrastructures- Chemical Accidents- Terrorist attacks- Biological disasters

shared with DRMKC network to be revisedand to provide opportunities to integrateadditional hazards with new (external)teams

Assess the magnitude of lossesagainst maximum potential impact(exposure)

Comparability among multiple data sources (assessments included, e.g. Copernicus assessments, EFFIS assessments)

Loss and damage data aggregation at homogeneous statistical units (NUTS, LAU).

Various sources of “modelled” impacts is used in parallel for comparison purpouses.

Link loss and damage records with hazards’ areal extent (Copernicus).

Risk Data Hub - linking pre- and post-event datasetsRiskDataHub

Risk Data Hub – one input multiple output

Support the implementation of global regional

policies at local level

Assessing the magnitude of losses against referenced thresholds (DG REGIO requirement).

Assessing the magnitude of losses against modeled data

Offer access to loss and damage rapid assessments from various sources (e.gCopernicus).

The information on damage an losses from events is organized following the SENDAI Indicators.

Key messages

Implementations

Implement the Man-Made and Technological hazards

Implement risk analysis from Good practices

Consider other aspects in DRM : Cost benefit analysis, Recovery and Resilience assessment, Monitor

implementation of international policies.

Multi-Hazard approach Risk Assessment

Increase the hazards (10) and exposure “sectors” considered on RDH (infrastructure, environment, land use,

agriculture etc.)

Data

Data harvesting from scientific partners (EFFIS, EFFAS, EMSR-Copernicus, EMM)

Complete the events data base (e.g. using European Media Monitor, other sources)

Collaborations

Convince the local authorities about the need of GIS WEB Platform in the area of DRM

Enhance collaboration between and amongst different DRM and NRA platforms, and JRC groups.
