NRAMS offers advice for the reduction of natural risks (geophysical and geological, hydro-meteorological, wildfires, etc), improving our ability to anticipate these disasters and proposing appropriate actions aimed at mitigating their impacts in an environment of climate change. The service focuses on multi-risk analysis through the application of data mining and big data techniques and probabilistic models to forecast future events. Its primary focus is on the development of innovative algorithms and technologies aimed at facilitating comprehensive long-term assessments of multi-hazard scenarios and early warning systems. By doing so, we aim to anticipate and mitigate the socioeconomic and ecological consequences of natural disasters.
The service offers long and short term hazard analysis, vulnerability analysis, risk analysis and cost/benefit analysis using a multi-hazard, multi-risk perspective.
Problems we address:
- Development of prevention and emergency plans and protocols.
- Exposure and vulnerability to natural hazards and natural resources protection.
- Rational and smart land use planning.
- Disaster Risk Reduction.
- Decision-making against natural disasters.
What we do:
- Analysis of geospatial data
- Long and short term multi-hazard assessment
- Qualitative vulnerability analysis.
- Cost-benefit analysis.
- Consultancy on smart territorial planning.
- Definition and elaboration of alert and Early Warning Systems.
- Communication protocols.
- Nature-Based Solutions.
- Consultancy on recovery and resilience measures.
How we do it:
- Development of tools to conduct spatial (susceptibility and exposure) and temporal analysis (determination of recurrence periods, event trees)
- Application of AI techniques (data mining, big data, etc) to conduct geospatial data analysis
- Identification of assets that need protection, identification of their main threats, evaluation of their vulnerability, and suggestion of mitigation strategies.
- Application of cost/benefit analysis and probabilistic decision models
- Use GIS tools and planning theories to design territorial plans
- Choosing appropriate technologies for detection and communication of alerts
- Set up necessary communication tools (software, hardware) and protocols
- Implement measures that increase long-term resilience.
Deliverables:
- Documents and maps detailing the identified hazards, vulnerabilities, qualitative assessments of risks
- Software outputs detailing financial forecasts and scenarios
- Strategic Land-Planning projects with GIS outputs for spatial planning and analysis.
- Technical specifications and designs, and detailed timeline for deployment of the early warning systems
- Communication procedures, tools, and platforms
- Detailed descriptions of the nature-based solutions, their expected impact, and implementation guidelines.
- Detailed strategies and actions for post-disaster recovery
