BORIS2 Webinar On Urban Disaster Risks
Join us for this webinar called "Tackling Urban Disaster Risks: Barriers, Data Needs and Frameworks in a Multi-Hazard Context" on January 30, 2025.
Key information
Description
In this webinar, we will delve into disaster risk management (DRM) in the urban context, focusing on the challenges and solutions involved in managing risks across multiple hazards. Drawing insights from the countries in focus in the EU research project BORIS2, we will briefly overview existing data, processes, and institutional frameworks, highlighting both procedural strengths and barriers. We will shed light on the specific needs and requirements necessary to enhance the urban system efficiency in emergencies. Participants will gain valuable insights into how different national frameworks address multi-risk environments and the opportunities for improving DRM strategies in urban contexts.
This session will be of interest to particularly urban planners, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners involved in disaster risk reduction, urban resilience, and emergency management.
