Project description
New disaster risk assessment method for vulnerable regions
Assessing disaster risk remains a critical challenge for regions affected by complex and interconnected hazards. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the Beyond Epicenters project will develop a disaster risk assessment methodology that integrates economic, social, and infrastructural interdependencies. Through dynamic disaster classification maps, multi-layered vulnerability models, advanced algorithms, and high-resolution data integration, the project will identify cascading impacts and systemic risks to enhance disaster resilience and mitigation strategies. Real-world validation will use seismic event data from Türkiye and Morocco, as well as tsunami risk assessments in Portugal. Overall, the project aligns with global frameworks. It will also provide actionable insights for policymakers and strengthen international collaboration.
Objective
"The ""Beyond Epicenters"" project introduces an innovative disaster risk assessment methodology that addresses the complexities of
interconnected regional systems by integrating economic, social, and infrastructural interdependencies. Key innovations include
dynamic disaster classification maps and multi-layered vulnerability models, enabled by advanced algorithms and high-resolution
data integration. These tools aim to identify cascading impacts and systemic risks, significantly enhancing disaster resilience and risk
mitigation strategies. Real-world validation will utilize data from seismic events in Türkiye and Morocco, as well as tsunami risk
assessments in Portugal, demonstrating the methodology’s adaptability across diverse disaster scenarios.
The project is supported by a robust interdisciplinary consortium comprising Universities and SMEs from Portugal, Germany, Norway,
Türkiye, Ukraine, Morocco, and Azerbaijan, combining expertise in operations research, remote sensing, and disaster management. By
aligning with global frameworks such as the Sendai Framework and the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, this initiative advances
proactive disaster preparedness and response. Its systemic approach provides actionable insights for policymakers, setting a new
standard in disaster resilience and fostering international collaboration to address complex disaster challenges."
