NATURAL HAZARDSThe aim of NATZARDS is to contribute to a better assessment of natural hazards risk perception of society.

The goal of NATZARDS is to:

- gather, generate and transfer Natural Hazards knowledge

- build an Information and Communication space

- identify, network, and coordinate the multiple research efforts

- leverage these multidisciplinary efforts with other activities.

RM - FP7-ENV-2008-1 Cooperation Work Programme 2008: Environment <25Feb08

Identifier: FP7-ENV-2008-1 Budget: € 212 000 000 Deadline: 25 February 2008
Area 6.1.3.1. Hazard assessment, triggering factors and forecasting
ENV.2008.1.3.1.1. Development of a common methodology and tools to evaluate earthquake hazard in Europe
There is a need to create, for Europe, a unified framework for seismic hazard assessment and
to produce an integrated European probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) model and
specific scenario based modelling tools. This should serve as a reference for national zonation
as well as seismic safety for the industry sector. The framework should include homogeneous
standards, procedures, harmonized inputs and parameters for a regional hazard assessment,
including models for seismic sources, activity rates and ground-motion attenuation. The most
appropriate return periods and ground-motion parameters for design for built environment for
ultimate and damage-limit states should be evaluated. Methods must be developed based on
the latest scientific understanding of the earthquake processes and seismic wave propagation.
Participation of countries from the southern Mediterranean area is encouraged. (Policy
relevant topic)
Funding scheme: collaborative projects (small or medium-scale focused research
projects)
Expected impact: The Eurocode 8 on Design of structures for earthquake resistance
will gradually take over for national standards in the period 2007-2010. However, its
provisions for seismic safety constructions are based on national seismic hazard
zonations. As a result, seismic hazard is assessed in Europe in a variety of uneven and
incompatible ways in different countries and different sectors (may differ by more than

Dear Gelu and Adrian,
I have not received any proposal draft from you.
I think it is very late, I expected it on early morning last Monday, and now it is evening Wednesday, i.e. almost 3 working days later.
I have spoken to two project officers today and they have told me that we need more involvement of "first responders" and some "interest" from the EC to fund this project. One of them promised to contact the commission created to coordinate natural desasters crisis.
If they find interesting the project, then we have opportunity to succeed. Otherwise not. By the way, did you mention me that you have contacts with this commission?
Will you attend the conf. call tomorrow at 12h or at 14h30?
Best regards
Manel

Crisis Management International Coordination Platform

FP7-IST Objective Security:

Supportive and Collaborative Action

Funding Budget Goal: 500.000€


Abstract

The aim of the project is to set up a Collaborative working group to define the general and specific requirements of an infrastructure to allow:

  • identify crisis situations that require international management coordination support

  • Specify the information to be made available and interchanged amongst the national and international teams, including agreement on its semantic and ontological meaning

  • Specify the physical required infrastructure to support the international coordination.

One of the main objectives of the working group is to specify the parameters and the algorithm to be used by the diagnosis and intervention system to analyse the problems and generate a solution. This will be done through specialised software, in real-time, to process data and technological alarms.

Natural Hazards/Disasters RTD general information

Recent local and transnational disasters have demonstrated to the European Commission and the Member States of the European Union the paramount importance of efficient risk management. The prevention and response to such natural disasters request more and more to pool efforts and competencies from different thematic sectors and technical disciplines of the individual EU Member States towards a common action.


The Action focusses on the development of a better capacity for early warning, monitoring and damage assessment systems for weather-driven natural hazards, as well as for tools for assessing climate change effects, land use change effects, risk mapping and adaptation (prevention and reduction) to extreme events driven by the current climate and expected changes in climate. Modelling is given specific attention with respect to the occurrence of natural events such as floods and droughts, for example in support of the Flood Action Programme. The Action items are geared towards the provision of direct support to the Community civil protection mechanisms and to interventions by the Solidarity Fund. They are also linked to the development of the Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) services.

Models and systems developed within this Action are:


¤ LISFLOOD – a catchment hydrological modeling system

¤ EFAS – the European Flood Alert System

¤ MOLAND – a land use simulation model

¤ EDO – a European Drought Observatory

recommendations for actions to improve capacity building, preparedness and resilience of the
society in the context of natural hazards. Gaps in research in these fields need to be assessed.
Education on disaster prevention and awareness raising of the society as a means to improve

METRICA RM postpone the preparation of the proposal for next FP7-SEC-2 call

Dear all,
Taking the role of coordinator, after the decision of yesterday webminar, to postpone the preparation of the proposal, due basically to the negative last feedback received from the EC and the actual status, some delay and 1/10 of probabilities, I must announce that the members of this group are encouraged to build a European Forum of Risk Management, in order to reinforce the platform and the common understanding in Evaluation of METRICA in RM, in order to present the proposal in a next call.
We keep posted in the next actions proposed,

SEC-1 EC feedback

Dear Manel,

Thank you for submitting your ideas to our programme! Nevertheless, the purpose of CAs and SSAs is to promote and support the ad hoc networking and co-ordination of research and innovation activities at national, regional and European level over a fixed period for a specific purpose.

1. which is the research to be coordinated and how? The action seems to be about identifying best practices in the area and, as such, does not fit with the joint call
We intend to find out the impact of the security measures applied to critical infrastructures, mainly its impact to guarantee its continuity of service to the Society.
Traditionally the Risk Analysis apply economical criteria to select the security mechanisms, but in Critical infrastructures, the service to the citizens may be of special relevance, as is the case of regulatory or legal constraints.

2. Our work programme explicitly states also "metrics and benchmarks in support of certification and standardisation". Which standardisation activities do you promote?
 
The outcome of the project will be contributions and recommendations to ISO 27000 series of standards:
27004, Measurements
27011, Telecommunications
27031, IT Disaster Recovery
27032, Cibersecurity
27033, IT Network security
Let's discuss it in Leon again?

Thank you, Yours sincerely,
-Yves Paindaveine

Subject:

Experience shows that first responders will have the most important role in the early response to different types of emergencies (e.g. conventional, radiation, chemical, etc.). Their ability to respond efficiently will have the critical influence to protection of life, health and property, to prevention of escalation of the emergency and to response and rehabilitation at the later stage. Providing the first responders with adequate knowledge and training, equipment and tools developed in line with best international practice and novel technologies will ensure the effective first response
