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

Coastal Inundation Integrated Modelling

(Corresponding) CHONDROS M., METALLINOS A., PAPADIMITRIOU A., KALPYRI M., MEMOS C., TSOUKALA V.

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

Daily Forest Fire Prediction modeling and Forest Fire Information System (FFIS)

(Corresponding) Apostolakis A., Girtsou S., Kontoes C.

Topic:

Disaster risk reduction and management

Forest fires in recent years are becoming increasingly devastating for ecosystems, human lives and infrastructures as they follow the climate change impact. In this context the fire monitoring and risk prediction is crucial to support Civil Protection Agencies in charge of the protection of natural...Read more
