Enhancing resilience of communities and territories facing natural and na-tech hazards (ENSURE)

Description: Das Projekt "Enhancing resilience of communities and territories facing natural and na-tech hazards (ENSURE)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières durchgeführt. Vulnerability has long been a key concept in disaster literature. However, the majority of studies have focused on research related to the hazard, therefore neglecting the influence of the vulnerability of exposed systems to the consequences of such hazards, such as the death toll and losses from natural or man made disasters. There is also a need to better identify and measure the ability of 'at risk and affected communities and territorial systems to respond to such disasters. This is the starting point of the ENSURE project. The basic assumption of ENSURE is that our ability to better understand and evaluate different types of vulnerabilities constitutes a crucial tool to strengthen communities in the face of disasters due to extreme events and climate change. Improving the understanding of the factors that make a community more vulnerable is crucial. This will involve addressing the various physical, psychological, cultural, systemic, social and economic components that shape the relationship between societies and the 'natural environment, and will permit more tailored and articulated mitigation measures.
