Risk Data Hub

The DRMKC Risk Data Hub is a platform for collaborations and for the development of collective knowledge. Only by bringing together the fragments of information nowadays produced across different actors (scientists, academia, practitioners and policy-makers), different sectors (environment, economic, health, industry, security, nuclear, financial, etc.) and in support to different EU policies (UCPM, rescEU, Floods Directive, the European Green Deal with its actions: the Climate Law and the new EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change)

and Global agreements (the Sendai Framework, SDGs, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change) will itl be possible to transform relevant information into knowledge and to become more resilient to future shocks.

It becomes challenging to host disaster risk data for complex forms of decision-making and the effectiveness of the technological development proposed depends greatly on the efficiency of managing relevant information (which generally refers to knowledge on causal factors of disaster). The DRMKC RDH proposes to challenges the scale disagreement concerning the global scale of policy and local scale of practice and implementation. It proposes to identify developments that matches the needs and realities expressed at local/national level. It also intends to link different views of the same topic, such as the short-term risk management (DRM) of extreme events versus long-term adaptation (CCA) and mitigations to/of extreme events in a changing climate.
