Preview of the Science for DRM 2020: acting today, protecting tomorrow

The Report aims to broaden the knowledge of disaster risk in Europe, by collecting and merging the scientific results and experience of several actors.

The Science for DRM 2020 focuses on analysing the consequences of a disaster on various assets (population, economic sector, critical infrastructures, environment and cultural her- itage) to take advantage of the data and lessons that can be extracted in the aftermath of an event to propose paths of action to reinforce prevention, mitigation and adaptation.

The report is divided in six chapters and six super case studies, drafted by 25 teams of authors, with the support of an Advisory Group:

• 1 Introduction
• 2 Integrating the risk management cycle
• 3.1 Methodologies for impact assessment
• 3.2 Population
• 3.3 Economic Sectors
• 3.4 Critical Infrastructures
• 3.5 Environment and ecosystem services
• 3.6 Cultural heritages
• 4 Communicating risk among all
• 5 Transferability of knowledge and innovation
• Super Case studies
