Coastal risk is increasing in Europe and beyond
• Coastal risk (prob. hazard * consequences) is increasing due to(IPCC, 2014)1. Increase in hazard intensity/frequency due to
• increased winds,• extremes in rainfall• sea level rise
2. Increase in consequences due to increased coastal development• Without adaptation, flood damage on European coasts increase up
to 11 billion Euros per year
• Increased risk means a re-evaluation of Disaster RiskReduction measures
But …• Where to invest? -> What are the hotspots?• How can we include coastal hazards?• What DRR measures work and why?• What are the socio-cultural and historic aspects ?• How can we quantify the effectiveness of DRR
measures?• Can a generic approach be applied across Europe, in
data-rich and data-starved environments?
Meeting, Venue, Date
Risk reduction and increased resilience
To the rescue: the RISC-KIT Toolkit1. Coastal Risk Assessment Framework(CRAF) to identify - at the regional scale(100’s km) - hot spot areas of coastal risk
2. Quantitative, high-resolution EarlyWarning and Decision Support System(EWS/DSS) to evaluate DRR measures inhotspots
