First BORIS2 Results: D2.1 – Comparison of Existing Schemes and Methods For Emergency Management

We are happy to share the first results of the BORIS2 project! You can now access the full version of deliverable D2.1 – Comparison of Existing Schemes and Methods For Emergency Management. This deliverable originates from work package 2 of the project (Context Analysis and Needs Assessment), and provides a comprehensive analysis of existing seismic and flood risk assessment methodologies from an effective disaster risk management (DRM) perspective at the urban level. It also aims to review and evaluate the diverse DRM frameworks, decision making processes, and legal and institutional arrangements adopted by different countries, highlighting areas for potential alignment.

The core of D2.1 is an extensive analysis of DRM practices across Italy, Slovenia, Austria, Turkey, and Montenegro. Each country exhibits unique methodologies tailored to their specific environmental and urban challenges, reflecting diverse approaches to seismic and flood risk management at an urban scale. Each section is divided into sub-sections that cover the hazards, vulnerabilities, exposure levels, damage and impact indicators and tools (platform) for risk assessment related the respective risks. Special attention is given to the role of seismic and flood risk analysis in effective DRM as well as multi-risk assessment methods at urban scale.
