Bridging the world of:
• policymakers — who ideally
develop public policy based on
sound scientific evidence — and
• scientists who develop that
evidence in the first place.
• Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre
DRMKC
The DRMKC gathers together different European Commission's services, European countries and the whole community dealing with disasters to manage disaster risk in a more coordinated way.
Enhanced effectiveness of better coordinated policies based on Knowledge transfer across sectors.
The DRMKC aims to integrate and consolidate existing scientific multi-disciplinary knowledge to co-develop innovative solutions for existing needs.

Science for DRM Reports
It has been the base for the development of theDRMKC-CONRIS training on DRM at theUniversities of:
- Saxion UAS (the Netherlands) in April 2018- Coventry University (UK) in November 2018.- Autonomous University of Barcelona (Spain)
in February 2019.- Deventer UAS (the Netherlands) in March
2019.

Science for DRM 2020
Open process: everyone is welcome to contribute!Multi-hazard approach: from asset perspectiveIdentification of solutions through the analysis of case studiesClimate Change is one of the driving and cross-cutting topics Focus on Impact Assessment
Recommendations for NRA
Towards more coherent and consistent RA methodologies to make risks arising from different hazards comparable
To understand the relative importance of different risks for a given region
In order to assist decision makers in DRM in their prioritising of DRM planning and actions
Bridging science and policy
Scientific community
Decision makers in DRM:
• Ministries
• Civil Protection Groups
Direct contribution of 9 JRC research groups:
- Droughts- Earthquakes- Floods- Natech- Nuclear Accidents- Critical Infrastructures- Chemical Accidents- Terrorist attacks- Biological disasters
shared with DRMKC network to be revisedand to provide opportunities to integrateadditional hazards with new (external)teams

Assess the magnitude of lossesagainst maximum potential impact(exposure)
Comparability among multiple data sources (assessments included, e.g. Copernicus assessments, EFFIS assessments)
Loss and damage data aggregation at homogeneous statistical units (NUTS, LAU).
Various sources of “modelled” impacts is used in parallel for comparison purpouses.
Link loss and damage records with hazards’ areal extent (Copernicus).
Risk Data Hub - linking pre- and post-event datasetsRiskDataHub
Risk Data Hub – one input multiple output
Support the implementation of global regional
policies at local level
Assessing the magnitude of losses against referenced thresholds (DG REGIO requirement).
Assessing the magnitude of losses against modeled data
Offer access to loss and damage rapid assessments from various sources (e.gCopernicus).
The information on damage an losses from events is organized following the SENDAI Indicators.

Key messages
Implementations
Implement the Man-Made and Technological hazards
Implement risk analysis from Good practices
Consider other aspects in DRM : Cost benefit analysis, Recovery and Resilience assessment, Monitor
implementation of international policies.
Multi-Hazard approach Risk Assessment
Increase the hazards (10) and exposure “sectors” considered on RDH (infrastructure, environment, land use,
agriculture etc.)
Data
Data harvesting from scientific partners (EFFIS, EFFAS, EMSR-Copernicus, EMM)
Complete the events data base (e.g. using European Media Monitor, other sources)
Collaborations
Convince the local authorities about the need of GIS WEB Platform in the area of DRM
Enhance collaboration between and amongst different DRM and NRA platforms, and JRC groups.
