Webinar: BORIS2 Methodology For Cross-Border Emergency Management Planning

Time

10:00-11:30 CET

About

Disasters don’t stop at borders. Cross-border regions can use the joint assessment of risks as a chance to strengthen cooperation, integrate expertise from various disciplines, and foster a deeper mutual understanding. Harmonisation in this context means aligning methods, perspectives, and data to assess and address both single and multiple risks in a coordinated manner. 

What are the key differences between deterministic and probabilistic risk assessments, and when should each be used? The team behind the DG ECHO-funded project BORIS2 is ready to provide answers. 

This webinar will present the framework and multi-step methodology for multi-risk assessment developed in BORIS2. Based on identified needs, stakeholder input and defined objectives, the framework delivers a harmonised approach for assessing both single and multiple risks in urban areas. It also introduces a method to evaluate the efficiency of urban emergency systems, supporting more effective emergency planning in the preparedness phase. The framework will serve as the basis for the upcoming cross-border pilot applications, which will be presented during this webinar as well. 

Goals of the webinar
