NET RISK WORK – Networking for the European Forest Risk Facility iniciative
Project Overview
NET RISK WORK wants to provide a platform of knowledge and best experience exchange dealing with different European forest risks and their interactions, delivering operational guidelines for natural risk disaster reduction meanwhile building regional/thematic networks of expertise. The project will perform a best practices capitalisation process on risk planning and management capabilities of wildfires, storms, avalanches and flood hazards, as well as a crosslink assessment on how are these hazards interacting in a changing climate context all across Europe, as well an informal and permanent multi-actor knowledge exchange platforms will be consolidated at local/regional level by the specific hazards supported by a European scope coordination.
Project Results
– Four Reports on wildfires, storms, avalanches and flood hazards risk assessment.
– A Crosslink natural hazards risks assessment report with the interactions identified in the changing climate context affecting Europe, delivering operational guidelines and tools for conducting a multi-risk management towards disaster risk reduction.
– The development of local/regional modular knowledge repository and exchange platforms for wildfires, storms and avalanches, including a pilot site development for floods, supported by a pan-European secretariat coordination, and delivering a Report with experience on facilitating cooperation that will serve to facilitate the implementation of future local/regional forest risk networks.
– The creation of a multilevel risk platform with a database of experts, best practices and operational tools.
– On line and print edition of a Book of operational guidelines for improving forest risk management and disaster reduction in a climate change context summarizing the project outcomes.
– All Project communication outcomes, including the proceedings and presentations of the exchange knowledge workshops, making available the detailed descriptions and conclusions of the learning and experience sharing meeting to all as the potential Community of Users in Disaster Risk and Crisis Management
