Study to map risks in EU border regions will help map the exposure and vulnerability of EU land borders and give an overview of existing agreements, tools and processes for disaster risk prevention, preparedness and response in border areas.
In December 2022, the European Commission launched a study mapping risks in EU border regions and identifying cross-border cooperation agreements, tools and processes for good risk governance.

Detailed maps will be created.
