4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Chiara Scaini <saetachiara@xxxxxxxxx> Dear Colleagues, I would like to remind you that abstract submission to virtual EGU2021, European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2021 (vEGU21: Gather Online, 19â??30 April 2021), will close in ten days *(DEADLINE: 13 January 2021).* Please consider submitting your contribution to the Session NH8.1: â??Multi-risk perspectives to increase societal resilience: dealing with natural disasters at the times of pandemicsâ?? Abstracts can be submitted to this Session via the EGU2021 Assembly web page: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/abstractsubmission/39021 with guidelines available at: https://egu21.eu/abstracts_and_programme/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html Kindly apologise for possible multiple postings. On behalf of the session conveners Chiara Scaini ========================= NH8.1 â??Multi-risk perspectives to increase societal resilience: dealing with natural disasters at the times of pandemicsâ?? https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/39021 Convener: Antonella Peresan Co-conveners: Ledio Allkja, Nadejda Komendantova, Chiara Scaini How to deal with a pandemic when an earthquake occurs? And how to deal with a flood emergency during a pandemic? Different hazards can combine and mutually enhance their impact, turning into a disaster. The COVID-19 pandemic pointed out the low preparedness of human society to large-scale crises. In particular, there have been several damaging earthquakes during the pandemic (Croatia, USA, Iran), which highlighted the impacts of concurrent hazards and the complexity in handling such situations. However, recent experiences also triggered an active response in the scientific community, which eventually contributed to further develop research and mitigation measures. This session aims at discussing the issues that arise in case of pandemics in combination with other risks (e.g. earthquakes, floods, fires). Contributions on multiple risks are welcome, including but not limited to: studies on integrated hazards/risks; experience from recent events; multi-risk scenarios. Contributions that foresee the comparison, integration and cross-validation of different risk assessment models and approaches are very welcome. The session will also collect experiences and lessons learned from case-studies and provide useful insights for an integrated approach. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 ------------------------------
