Cross border risk assessment for increased prevention and preparedness in Europe: way forward
Development of a shared methodology for the management of transboundary seismic and flood risk
Considering the need expressed by local civil protections involved as stakeholders in BORIS, particularly to enhance the multi-risk analysis methodology proposed for an effective use towards emergency planning, the BORIS2 goal is to deliver a methodology and tool to support stakeholders to undertake strategic decisions to improve emergency planning. The multi-risk analysis methodology developed in BORIS, that was implemented at municipality scale, will be modified for application at sub-municipal level (e.g. at census tract level or for square grid units) considering relevant multi-risk scenarios. This will enable to highlight urban areas that are most impacted by single and multiple risks for a better planning of emergency phase. Moreover, critical infrastructures and their connections will be included for the evaluation.
Expanding on the concept of Limit Condition for the Emergency and its associated evaluation model proposed by the Italian Civil Protection Department, which is aimed at checking the physical efficiency after a seismic damaging event of the emergency system of urban settlements, a multi-risk approach that could be applied also in cross-border regions will be proposed delivering a comprehensive methodology for institutions operating in different national context.
A “scenario-driven” approach will be tested for the assessment of the impacts of seismic, flood or multi-risk events on assets and infrastructures relevant for emergency management. Results of BORIS2 will be integrated in the existing BORIS platform, ensuring its interoperability. The BORIS2 solution will be replicable in other cross border areas and the project results and dissemination activities will be designed to exploit knowledge sharing and capacity building through the UCPKN platform.
BORIS2 builds on the project BORIS (2021-2022).
