Overview

Natural disasters are among the most adverse events that can occur in an area. In Europe, the number and impacts of disasters is increasing over the past years and thus there is an urging need for better integrated disaster management systems.

Development of a joint training programme

Development of a joint training programme for the teams, in collaboration with National and European bodies and agencies.

State-of-the-art IT tools

State-of-the-art IT tools and systems for integrated disaster management will be developed, in the form of Assets Management Platform and Information Databases

Study and the production of updated maps of the seismic faults

Disaster management system and as such the Project includes the comprehensive study and the production of updated maps of the seismic faults.

Timely assessment of buildings’ safety after an event

Timely assessment of buildings’ safety after an event is a crucial component of disaster management. In that framework, a Post-Earthquake Building Inspections Manual will be developed.

Intervention Area

Both the areas of Epirus in Greece and Puglia in Italy experienced the effects of natural disasters recently with the increase of seismic activities in the areas causing extensive property damage and risking human lives. These events reveal the problem of reviewing the geological structure of the wider area with newer modern methods and techniques in relation to the geological-seismological peculiarity of the phenomenon, the assessment of seismic hazard, seismic stimulation of landslides and liquefactions, to enhance and strengthen the planning of Civil Protection
