It also addresses the advances in disaster risk reductio…
The final report of the ESPON 1.3.1 Hazards project shows the spatial patterns of natural and technological hazards in Europe as an overview on all NUTS3 areas and identifies possible impacts of climate change on selected natural hazards. The approach of the project was to use existing results of hazard research and to combine those in such a way, that…
This paper addresses the visual communication issues with a focus on natural hazards which vary in time and space (such as the avalanche danger level) or purely in space (such as maps using the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale, ATES, to communicate how different terrain is exposed to avalanches). This study is a follow up of a previous study on the effi…
EEA Technical Report No. 12/2015:
This report tries to demonstrate the role of Green Infrastructure (GI) for mitigating vulnerability to weather and climate variability-related natural hazards at European level, addressing some of the challenges and information gaps. It proposes a simple, practical methodology for screening (rather than assessing) ecos…
The atlases provide hazard maps indicating different degrees of risks from earthquakes, avalanches, landslides, mud flows and floods in the High-Pamir and Pamir-Alai mountains of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. The set includes one regional atlas and two national atlases covering in more detail selected administrative districts and sub-districts in Kyrgyzst…
