Promoting disaster preparedness and resilience by co-developing stakeholder support tools for managing the systemic risk of compounding disasters

Descrizione del progetto

Strumenti innovativi per la valutazione del rischio di catastrofi

La pandemia e la crisi climatica in corso hanno indotto le parti interessate che si occupano di gestione del rischio di catastrofi a prendere in considerazione la possibilità di adattare le politiche di riduzione del rischio e i piani di emergenza. Non esistono però strumenti per valutare gli impatti intersettoriali dei rischi. Il progetto PARATUS, finanziato dall’UE, svilupperà una piattaforma open-source per la valutazione dinamica del rischio, per analizzare e valutare le catene d’impatto multirischio, le misure di riduzione del rischio e gli scenari di risposta alle catastrofi in presenza di vulnerabilità e incertezze sistemiche. Il progetto condurrà un’analisi forense sugli eventi catastrofici storici, integrerà le banche dati sui disastri con le interazioni tra i pericoli e gli impatti settoriali, e sfrutterà i dati di telerilevamento con strumenti di intelligenza artificiale. Il consorzio comprende organizzazioni di ricerca, ONG, PMI, soccorritori di pronto intervento e autorità locali e regionali.

Obiettivo

The ongoing pandemic and climate crisis have taught us hard lessons about the systemic impact of compounding disasters. Stakeholders in disaster risk management are faced with the challenge to adapt their risk reduction policies and emergency plans but lack the tools to account for the cross-sectoral impacts and dynamic nature of the risks involved. The PARATUS project aims to fill this gap by developing an open-source platform for dynamic risk assessment that allows to analyse and evaluate multi-hazard impact chains, risk reduction measures, and disaster response scenarios in the light of systemic vulnerabilities and uncertainties. These services will be co-created within a unique transdisciplinary consortium of research organisations, NGOs, SMEs, first and second responders, and local and regional authorities. To gain a deeper understanding of multi-hazard impact chains, PARATUS will first conduct forensic analysis on historical disaster events, augment historical disaster databases with hazard interactions and sectorial impacts, and exploit remote sensing data with artificial intelligence methods. Building on these insights, PARATUS will then develop new exposure and vulnerability analysis methods that enable systemic risk assessment across sectors (e.g. humanitarian, transportation, communication) and geographic settings (e.g. islands, mountains, megacities). These methods will be used to analyse risk changes across space and time and to develop new scenarios and risk mitigation options together with stakeholders, using innovative serious games and social simulations. The results will be hosted on two stakeholder hubs related to crisis management and humanitarian relief, and provide stakeholders with a range of tools for risk reduction planning in dynamic multi-hazard environments. The service-oriented approach with active stakeholder involvement will maximise uptake and impact of the project, and help to increase Europe’s resilience to compounding disasters.
