Every day a map showing the events occurred in the previous hours or representative of the situation of an ongoing crisis is produced, to support the operations of the Emergency Response and Coordination Centre (ERCC) of the European Commission Humanitarian Directorate (DG-ECHO). Delivering...

Many public debates and political discourses in the recent years have highlighted the impact of climate change on migration. These debates are still influenced by early estimates, which predicted that millions of people would be fleeing climate change effects. Part of this alarmist narrative is...

The current report is focused on a technical screening and selecting exercise of climate/weather parameters and indices to be used in a bigger JRC Project on Climate Change Induced Migration (CLICIM). The main aim of the current exercise is to select among several tenths of variables and data...

The Global Disasters Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) automatically invokes ad hoc numerical models to analyse the level of the hazard of natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, tropical cyclones, floods and volcanoes. The Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are among the most damaging events,...

In this Report, the possibility of utilizing joint probability methods in coastal flood hazard component calculations is investigated, since flood risk is rarely a function of just one source variable but usually more of two or three variables such as river discharge, storm surge, wave etc....

One of the deliverables foreseen within the Coastal Risk exploratory research project was a prototype of an operational system that can tackle the task of an early information and awareness platform. The proposed prototype aimed to include an extensive range of physical processes including...

The Joint Research Center (JRC) has developed extensive experience in tsunami early warning systems, using the JRC-SWAN finite difference code for wave propagation simulation and the JRC finite-volume HyFlux2 code for wave propagation and inundation modelling over the last years. Since 2011, NWP...
