Host your local and EU disaster risk and loss data in the Risk Data Hub
The Risk Data Hub (RDH) is a GIS web-based collaborative platform used to look up, host, and share disaster risk and loss data – crucial information to support disaster risk prevention and risk management.
Recently, three new Users Corners were established as a result of successful collaborations facilitated by the platform. The platform's "User Corner" service accommodates and disseminates results related to external projects, mainly addressing national authorities. It offers a flexible and customized solution for accessing, storing, and managing losses and risk data that serves policy access well.
The Flood Fatalities for territories in Euro-Mediterranean (FFEM) region database exhibits the number of fatalities and extensive information about the profile of victims and the accident circumstances across 12 study areas. Achieving this necessitated the inclusion of Turkey and Israel, extending beyond the platform's study area. These countries exemplify the platform's continuous expansion and development, as they are the first non-EU countries to be included.
Another User Corner is the Alicante Province Economic Losses database, which hosts loss data provided by the Spanish National Insurance System. Losses are expressed in terms of compensation pay-outs of insured assets damaged by Flash Floods in the past 25 years.
Finally, the new European Central Bank -Physical Risk shows a set of indicators developed by the European Central Bank (ECB) which take into account risks stemming from climate-change-induced natural hazards that can affect the performance of financial institutions of the Euro area. This “corner” with financial information shows that the platform can host data beyond the field of disaster risk management.
Finally, the new European Central Bank - Physical Risk is a recent addition that presents a series of indicators developed by the European Central Bank (ECB) which consider the risks associated with climate-change-induced natural hazards that may impact the performance of financial institutions in the Euro area. This financial information \"corner\" demonstrates that the platform is capable of accommodating data beyond the realm of disaster risk management. Additional information on these three external projects now hosted in the Risk Data Hub is available in the dedicated page of each User Corner. If you explore the Risk Data Hub and you want to create a dedicated user corner where your data can be saved, returned to and worked upon, get in touch with the Joint Research Centre’s development team.
Users can find information concerning the three external projects now housed in the Risk Data Hub on the respective dedicated pages of each User Corner.
