ERASMUS Intensive Programme (IP)
"MultI-Risk Assessment and Mitigation in Europe" - MIRAME (2nd Edition)
13th - 26th July 2014
University of Aveiro - Aveiro, Portugal

 

Europe is threatened by recurring natural disasters caused by hazards such as earthquakes, landslides, floods and forest fires that cause hundreds of deaths and injuries and hundred millions of Euros economic losses each year. Moreover damages are often the combined effects of concurrent natural and maninduced hazards successively triggered by a sort of cascading effect. For this reason, in response to growing awareness of the economic and social significance of natural disasters, research on integrated analysis of different risk sources (i.e. multi-risk analysis) have been developed in the last decade as an up-todate approach to support adequate land planning and management policies.
