Call
Detailed Call Description
Risk assessments themselves are primarily designed to predict the likelihood of a specific event, whereas what is of primary concern is the impact of that event on society, infrastructure, governance, etc.
Numerous experiences gathered in the natural hazards area showed that an enhanced assessment of risks and scenario building may be improved by taking into account reliable data and historical occurrences, when available, including disaster loss data. This includes for example a higher completeness of the historical-geological records of volcanic eruptions, major earthquakes, tsunamis etc.
The action should take into account disaster loss databases and risk data repositories in Member States and relevant hubs.
