Abstract

The MEDiate project aims to develop a decision-support system (DSS) for disaster-risk management that provides local authorities, businesses, and citizens with a comprehensive web-based platform to assess the risks posed by natural hazards. Within the project, Work Package 2 (WP2) is designed for the Assessment of current and future multi-hazard interactions and cascading impacts. It diagnoses the primary forms of interacting natural hazards across Europe, drawing examples from four specific testbed locations. Within WP2, the focus of this report, designated as deliverable 2.2 (D2.2), lies in analysing interactions between hydrological, meteorological, and climatological hazards, including mass movements. Specifically, D2.2 seeks to understand the mechanistic dependencies between interacting natural hazards, such as a storm inducing flooding leading to subsequent landslides. The report elucidates the interconnections between primary and associated hazards across various spatial and temporal scales. Furthermore, it provides projections regarding changes in hazard frequency and severity, grounded in the principal natural hazards identified within each testbed. The findings of this report serve as input data for Work Package 3 (WP3), which is tasked with developing a people-centred risk assessment for each testbed. This assessment is then integrated into the DSS portal to enhance local and regional disaster risk management as part of Work Package 4 (WP4).
