1 PPRD SOUTH ASSESSMENT TOOLS REGIONAL RISK ATLAS Aim of the Atlas is to build a common risk assessment and mapping methodology among the Partner Countries in view to stimulate discussion on shared approaches to disaster risk reduction.

2 FEATURES OF THE PPRD SOUTH ATLAS 1/2 Organized in 3 main information blocks: General country data, Risk data and Disaster data Based on a Web GIS System Detail of information: 1 st administrative level Governorate/Province/Region. Total polygons in the Mediterranean map: 363

3 Features of the PPRD south Atlas 2/2 The Atlas integrates information from international sources on population, census, borders, infrastructures, disasters, development indexes... National data on civil protection capacities are provided by the PPRD South Partner Countries The Atlas utilises a qualitative risk assessment and mapping approach Risk assessment model is being developed in collaboration with Partner Countries and Scientific Institutions (EC JRC, University of Montpellier, UNEP...)

4 RISK ATLAS: COMPONENTS PPRD South Risk Atlas Hazard Exposure Vulnerability

5 PPRD SOUTH QUALITATIVE RISK INDEX Components explaination Hazard: number of events by polygon (earthquakes, floods, landslides, droughts). Data extracted from international databases e.g. Columbia University HOTSPOTS db Exposure: people, property, systems or infrastructures present in the hazard zone subject to potential losses. Data extracted from international databases Vulnerability: calculated compiling three sets of national indicators on: exposure and physical susceptibility, socio- economic fragility and resilience - including data on civil protection capacities

6 COMPONENTS (AREAL COMPETENCE) Hazard Exposure Vulnerability Regional National Georefered Census data PVI Data, (national level), Socioeconomic, Magnitude, info density of resilience, Extension, Infrastructure,ser Time vices,lifeline, susceptibilty National levell Qualitative index Governatorate Georefered Data, Magnitude, Extension, Time Census data (1 st level), info density of Infrastructure, services, lifeline, PVI Socioeconomic, resilience, susceptibilty Sub Nat. level Qualitative index Municipality Georef.
