Description

The objective of this project is to provide policymakers, public administrators, researchers, educators and other stakeholders with an improved generic framework and methodology for the measurement and assessment of vulnerability to natural hazards in Europe's regions. MOVE intends to:
* create knowledge, frameworks and methods for the assessment of vulnerability to natural hazards in Europe.
* use indices and indicators to help improve societal and environmental resilience placing emphasis on clear, capable measurement and accounting for uncertainties.
* identify gaps in existing methodologies.
* produce a conceptual framework that is independent of scale and hazard type.
* analyse physical, technical, environmental, economic, social, cultural and institutional vulnerability measured for specific hazards and at different geographical scales.
* study floods, temperature extremes, droughts, landslides, earthquakes, wildfires and storms.
