Symposium, Excursions & Inaugural Lecture Prof. dr. Cees van Westen | |
09.00-10.30 | Symposium Session 1: Dynamic Risk Assessment Extreme rainfall and earthquakes trigger a series of interacting processes which impact society and cause direct and indirect damage through an impact chain. To develop better mechanism for reducing these impacts, it is important to assess their frequency and severity in a multi-hazard risk assessment. The assessment of risk is dynamic, due to dynamic nature of the risk components. These changes may be gradual resulting from ongoing trends such as climate change, global warming, sea level rise, population change, land use change and their interactions. OR they may be sudden, caused by major disaster events which change the terrain and socio-economic conditions drastically. In this session of the symposium several international experts will present their views on these matters. Chair: Dr. Luigi Lombardo Invited speakers:

10.30-11.00 | Coffeebreak with posters and demonstrations |
11.00-12.00 | Symposium Session 2: Launch of the RiskChanges tool for dynamic risk assessment RiskChanges is an online web-based Spatial Decision Support tool, that allows to generate multi-hazard exposure and risk information for the current situation, and for possible future scenarios and planning alternatives. It has been developed within the framework of the Centre for Disaster Resilience of the University of Twente, in collaboration with the Geoinformatics Centre of the Asian Institute of Technology. Chair: Dr. Irene Manzella / UTwente Invited speakers:

12.00-12-30 | Lunch break |
12.30-15.30 | Excursion: Twente Safety Campus and Risk Factory Coordination: Dr. Funda Atun & Ymko Attema The Risk Factory within the Twente Safety Campus is a facility for risk communication and training focusing on various target groups. The Twente Safety campus provides first responders with realistic training facilities using real-life scenarios. https://www.twentesafetycampus.nl/en/homepage/ At the Risk Factory, primary school children and vulnerable seniors in Twente learn and experience how to react in simulated, real-life safety situations. https://riskfactorytwente.nl/en/homepage/ There will be a bus departing from the ITC building at 12:30 to the Safety Campus, which will go back to the UT campus, arriving there at 15.30. |
16.00-1700 | Inaugural lecture Prof. dr. Cees van Westen: What impacts what? Disaster risk in a changing world |
17.00 | Reception |
