An Ignition Probability Index for the early detection of wildfires in the Eastern Mediterranean region
(Corresponding) Xofis P., Tsiourlis G., Konstantinidis P.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wildfires continue to form a major disturbance factor in Mediterranean ecosystems, often associated with significant loss of properties and human lives. Fast detection and suppression within the first minutes after ignition constitute one of the pillars for successful wildfire management and...Read more
Risk analysis for gas pipelines: A sustainability assessment approach using bow-tie analysis
(Corresponding) Panagopoulos J., Karayannis A., Karayannis P., Gouvalias G.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Vast amounts of natural gas (NG) are consumed around the world everyday that are mainly transported and distributed through pipelines. Integrity of these pipelines is of primary interest to NG companies, consultants, governmental agencies, consumers and other stakeholder due to adverse...Read more

O-fire+: a pioneer solution on wildfire incident planning and response for enhancing the resilience of individual infrastructures
(Corresponding) Karystinakis K., Partozis T., Grigoriadis D., Mantzavelas A., Diamantopoulos S.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wildland fires can seriously affect infrastructures causing extended direct or indirect financial losses, as well as societies causing the loss of properties, landscape quality and even human lives. The relevant management requires effective planning prior and quick/targeted response during those...Read more
Can Cell-Phone Tower Signals Help Fight Malaria in Africa?
(Corresponding) David N., (Corresponding) Gao H.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Malaria is one of the major causes of mortality in the world today. Sub-Saharan African countries suffer most acutely from outbreaks of the disease and some 90% of cases of death (hundreds of thousands of people each year) occur in this region. High intensity rainfall is a central parameter leading...Read more
Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

An Agent-Based Modelling approach to assess risk in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Moraitis G., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The classic approach to risk assessment in civil engineering infrastructure (incl. water systems) often takes an incomplete view of the socio-technical system and its cyber-physical extensions, thus confining the ability to properly quantify the level of risk. To tackle this limitation and enhance...Read more

The development of a Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model in Akamas National Forest Park in Cyprus, using Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 satellite data
(Corresponding) Prodromou M., Danezis C., Gitas I., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The canopy of trees plays a very important role in forest ecosystems and acts as a regulator, affecting the microclimate and the soil conditions. The density of the forest canopy is associated to the forest development and it can be used as an indicator of forest degradation. Additionally, forest...Read more
Quantifying and mapping urban trees' decay severity using thermal and spatial indices: implications for tree hazard assessment and management
(Corresponding) Zevgolis Y., Troumbis A.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Wood decay, a crucial factor in tree stability, is an internal long-term interaction between fungi and tree that leads to the disruption of energy flow, temperature abnormalities on the tree's surface, and possible tree mortality, especially when the decay extent is close to the threshold of...Read more

The Implementation of Risk Management processes as a contributing factor to the minimization of shipping disasters through the study of previous shipping accidents
(Corresponding) BOVIATSIS M., Vlachos G.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
Environmental disasters can maliciously affect property, human lives and even entire ecosystems. The magnitude and extent of such a disaster can lead to uncertainty about who is liable and how the restoration of the environmental damage will be achieved. The implementation of Risk Management...Read more

Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
The present paper provides an integrated framework for modelling of coastal inundation, aiming to help coastal communities understand their risks and consequently to prevent the adverse effects to society. The proposed framework involves the implementation and coupling of a suite of sea state...Read more
