SURE Tool Compendium
Description
The European Forest Institute (EFI), collaborating with partners from the European Forest Risk Facility initiative, developed a searchable online tool compendium with a user-friendly interface for forest practitioners, researchers, and policy-makers. The tool compendium is a database of management activities, communication, networking tools and local knowledge to support strategy development and decision making for forest practitioners and policy-makers.
Fostering collaboration, networking, and exchange of up-to-date lessons learned and good practice are key to enhance forest resilience and reduce the risk of forest disturbances. However, language barriers, countries´ borders and lack of contacts often hinder knowledge exchange. To break these barriers, the tool compendium offers open access to a range of good practices and experiences in wildfire, storms, and biotic risk management to take inspiration and learn from, as well as connect with other actors in forest disturbances management in Europe.
How to use it?
More than 70 tools are now available in the compendium, from which it is possible to select those of interest. The search can be based on the disturbance type, on the country of interest, on the biome, on the application level (forest, enterprise, and policy) and on the cycle phase of risk managment (prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery). By clicking on the tool of interest, it is possible to download a word file with detailed information about the tool itself and the author contact information.
