LONGRISK

The most challenging societal crises today are slowly developing cascades of complex socio-environmental disruptions, such as the series of disasters witnessed across Europe as a result of snowstorms, floods, droughts and fires. As hubs of population, economic activity and critical infrastructure, cities often suffer the most. To prioritize today's actions based on critical long-term impacts, LONGRISK develops decision support for integrated management of environmentally induced multi-hazard risks in urban areas. We organize Situation Room exercises in Helsinki, Tampere and Kotka in Finland to develop a detailed protocol for Finnish cities to manage the build-up of complex long-term risks. The exercises are enhanced with interactive modeling relying on Copernicus Earth observation data. LONGRISK's integrated decision support tools will help prioritize public and private investment and other strategic risk management options in cities.
