Adaimpact Tool
This article presents the ADAImpact tool, a QGIS plugin designed to assess the potential impacts of geohazards—such as landslides, subsidence, and sinkholes—using open-access surface displacement data from the European Ground Motion Service (EGMS), which is based on Sentinel-1 satellite observations. Created as part of the European RASTOOL project, ADAImpact integrates InSAR-derived ground movement data with exposure datasets (including populatio…
Seasonal rockfall risk analysis in a touristic island
Rockfalls are an ever-present possibility in the mountainous context of the Tramuntana Region (Mallorca, Spain). Recent events have shown the high potential for direct and indirect impact on the safety of people and economic activities, lasting for weeks or even months. In the present study, we start from a probabilistic assessment of the rockfall hazard (spatial propensity and temporal recurrence), based on a detailed historical record of occurr…
The complexity of the coastal zone
Understanding Disaster Risk
A coastal flooding database from 1980 to 2018 for the continental Portuguese coastal zone
Continental Portugal presents an extensive and diversified coastal zone which concentrates the main public and private infrastructures of the different economic sectors, as well as the main critical infrastructures. This area is also characterized by a high population density, being a differentiated territory in geophysical, biological and landscape terms. The wave regime is highly energetic, and storms are frequent. In the last decades, the coas…
Flooding hazard in the Tagus estuarine area
Risk analysis for local management from hydro-geomorphologic disaster databases
Re-scaling risk governance using local appraisal and community involvement
This paper describes a risk governance model applied on a local scale, showing the advantages and constraints found during its application. The risk governance model, built on a municipal scale, results from the application of the International Risk Governance Council framework. The model is characterised by the cyclicity between the assessment and management spheres, assuming communication to be essential in all stages. Its application in centra…
Aven, Terje; Renn, Ortwin, Risk Management and Governance. Concepts, Guidelines and Applications
Risk Management and Governance é um guia que explora as conexões entre o risco – e as diversas formas que este assume – e os processos de decisão a ele relativos. Como diz o título, trata‐se com efeito de uma obra que discute e propõe conceitos e directrizes e apresenta exemplos de aplicação de gestão e governação do risco. O distinto percurso académico e profissional dos autores confere‐lhes a condição complementar para se lançarem na discussão …
Título da página electrónica
O International Risk Governance Council (IRGC) é uma organização independente cuja missão é ajudar a compreender e a gerir riscos globais emergentes que têm impacto na segurança, saúde humana, ambiente, economia e na sociedade. O IRGC focaliza a sua acção no desenvolvimento de conceitos e estratégias de governação do risco, sendo esta uma área crucial perante a necessidade de tomar decisões relacionadas com o risco e de conseguir uma maximização …

A Universidade das Nações Unidas procura estabelecer pontes entre o mundo académico e o sistema das Nações Unidas. O Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS, na sigla original), em específico, tem por objectivo o desenvolvimento de soluções sustentáveis para os problemas actuais e futuros da humanidade, incluindo-se neste vasto campo de actuação o estudo do risco e da vulnerabilidade. O UNU-EHS assume um papel de liderança nas acçõe…
