Innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction 2023 - post-conference publications
The Innovation in Disaster Risk Reduction conference, held on 9-11 May 2023, resulted in two thematic reports: ‘Innovation in Disaster Prevention: challenges, solutions and opportunities’ and “Geoinformation for crisis management: guidelines and examples”.
The report Innovation in Disaster Prevention: challenges, solutions and opportunities provides an overview of the issues discussed at the event, set in a wider pan-European context. It focuses on:
- current challenges, the Sendai Framework and synergies with the EU Civil Protection Mechanism,
- solutions, especially recent developments in geospatial data management and other innovative technologies,
- opportunities within innovations, e.g., in building resilient societies and improving risk communication,
- available funding mechanisms, including the EEA/Norway Grants, which can be used to strengthen cooperation on disaster prevention and preparedness in the coming years.
The report Geoinformation for crisis management: guidelines and examples includes a theoretical section and a description of twelve different cases of successful implementation of GIS-based solutions to address crisis management issues that facies public administration at national or regional level.
