Challenges and opportunities using new modalities and technologies for multi-risk management

摘要

Abstract Recent crisis events and disasters, such as the 2021 flood disaster in Germany highlight the fact, that the management of multi-risks remains a challenge for risk managers and decision-makers even in highly developed countries. Nevertheless, over the past decade, new and innovative methods for data collection, analyses and communication have emerged and are increasingly being utilised in all phases of disaster risk management, e.g., from the domain of earth observation, artificial intelligence (AI) and social media. However, there are still gaps between scientific research, operative civil protection, and political decision-making. These gaps can only be bridged by closer collaboration and exchange.
