More BORIS2 Results: Synergies and Integration of Existing Initiatives Within the UCPM
We are happy to share more results from our project: Deliverable D2.3 (Synergies and Integration of Existing Initiatives Within the UCPM) aims to investigate, identify and utilise synergies between the BORIS2 project and existing Union Civil Protection Mechanism initiatives. By considering the results of these initiatives, BORIS2 seeks to improve its methodologies, tools and frameworks for DRM, particularly for cross-border and multi-risk assessments. This report shows how existing projects and networks contribute to BORIS2 activities and promote a coherent approach to disaster resilience and emergency planning across Europe.
The report features a comprehensive review of past and current EU and UCPM-funded projects. This review includes a detailed examination of the objectives, outcomes and methodologies of these projects to identify overlapping objectives and complementary approaches. Understanding these initiatives allows us to identify approaches and outcomes that may be relevant to BORIS2. An important part of this process is the identification of common methods and tools used in these initiatives.
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.
