imProved Accessibility: Reliability and security of Alpine transport infrastructure related to mountainous hazards in a changing climate (PARAmount)
Start date: Aug 31, 2009, End date: Aug 30, 2012,
Transport security and accessibility are essential for a balanced and sustainable development of ASP. Due to current climatic trends, the vulnerability of transport infrastructure to natural hazards has increased. But the specific threats to transport infrastructure have not yet been tackled in a systematic joint effort. Therefore the goal of PARAmount is to improve risk management strategies for ...

actical Use of MONITORing in Natural Disaster Management (MONITOR II)
Start date: May 31, 2009, End date: May 29, 2012,
Management of natural hazards constitutes a common challenge in the SEES. Until now, neither hazard mapping nor contingency planning have been transnationally coordinated and defined in a sufficient manner. These gaps will be tackled in MONITOR II with the development of a common methodology and a CSA ("Continuous Situation Awareness") system. The integration of monitoring systems facilitates peri ...

Hazard Monitoring for Risk Assessment and Risk Communication (MONITOR)
Start date: Dec 31, 2005, End date: Dec 30, 2007,
The infrastructure in mountainous areas or regions with seismic activity is greatly threatened by hazards such as landslides, avalanches or earthquakes. MONITOR offers a basis for a standardised risk management of land-use activities threatened by natural hazards. The project's target groups and their regions vary in their risk exposure and their hazard potentials. MONITOR takes into account a bro ...

Network Mountain Forest (NMF)
Start date: Dec 31, 2003, End date: Sep 29, 2007,
The operation Network Mountain Forest (NMF) focuses on concerted actions for the enhancement of mountain and protective forests and associated potentials for disaster prevention (e.g., avalanches, land slides). Due to the high sensitivity of mountain forests and their importance for protective measures, several relevant transboundary and/or EU measures have been developed, such as the Alpine Conve ...

NAB – Natural space analysis for alpine mountain areas for a cooperative development of a preventive safety and risk management system for natural hazards (NAB)
Start date: Feb 28, 2003, End date: Mar 30, 2007,
The increasing frequency of natural disasters in Europe is indicative of a clear need for action in the field of risk management. In the future, integrated strategies will play a central role in the sustainable protection of the Alpine region.The goal of NAB is to achieve intensive cooperation between the various disciplines and administrative levels in order to develop an innovative land use mana ...

Disaster Information System of ALPine regions (DIS-ALP)
Start date: Jun 30, 2003, End date: Jun 29, 2006,
The management of natural risks in a mountainous environment and the prevention of disasters requires a broad and accessible information basis about former disasters, which is important for interdisciplinary and interregional research and for decisions to prevent disasters and deal with natural risks. But the information needs - defined by the practitioners of spatial planning, risk prevention and ...
