Multihazard framework for water related risk management - Similar companies

Effective natural and man-induced disaster management needs to be addressed through a complex preparedness-response-mitigatio ... n-rebuild cycle to be implemented at different and synergic levels in the ADRION countries. The MUHA project will connect the observed and modelled hazards and risks related to the integrated water cycle with the existing and improved coping capacity developed by national, bilateral and EU Civil Protection Mechanisms, following the rationale defined by the Sendai framework. Four water related risks will be addressed, regarded as components of one single complex water system prone to different hazards: accidental pollution, flooding, drought and failure of critical infrastructure due to earthquakes. The interconnected role of water utilities through the water safety plans and civil protection mechanisms is crucial and currently not sufficiently harmonized. MUHA is expected to produce a long-term robust networking, based on a joint transnational management to address the common challenges of water-related response to hazard. read more
