One Platform to Understand and Manage Multiple Risks
For almost four years, the MYRIAD-EU consortium has been working to transform multi-hazard risk management in Europe, aiming to establish a shared set of multi-hazard concepts and indicators, consolidate existing methods, models, and tools, and evaluate policies and governance across local, national, and EU levels.
The MYRIAD-EU Dashboard is now available online.
Why the Dashboard Matters
The MYRIAD-EU Dashboard is a user-friendly platform that consolidates the project’s resources and guidance. It helps users anticipate cascading risks, explore multi-hazard scenarios, and plan proactive strategies.
Who Benefits and How
The Dashboard is designed for multiple audiences, with tailored benefits:
- Governments and Public Agencies: Tested in five pilot regions, the Dashboard equips policymakers with practical tools and real-world case studies to design multi-hazard preparedness policies and disaster management plans across sectors.
- Science and Research: Researchers gain access to a scientifically grounded, pilot-tested framework for analysing systemic risks across multiple hazards and sectors, enhancing the quality and relevance of multi-risk research.
- Private Sector: Businesses can use the Dashboard to gain actionable insights, identify and mitigate systemic risks, and maintain continuity in the face of multi-hazard challenges.
- Risk Planners: Practical tools, guidance, and tried-and-tested regional case studies help planners to develop actionable, forward-looking disaster risk management plans that account for evolving multi-risk scenarios.
Inside the Dashboard
Built on the MYRIAD-EU framework, the Dashboard guides users through six steps for systemic multi-risk analysis – from defining the system to evaluating risks and planning adaptive strategies. Step-by-step instructions tailored to different types of users, makes the dashboard a hands-on tool for everyday risk management and a lasting resource for adaptive disaster preparedness.
Key sections of MYRIAD-EU Dashboard include:
- Assessment and Management: Users can explore the framework and multi-risk pathways, sequences of risk management interventions that addresses changing risks while revealing synergies, trade-offs, and adaptive solutions.
- Pilots: Five European regions – Canary Islands, Veneto, Scandinavia, North Sea, and Danube – act as laboratories for testing and refining the framework. Each pilot offers region-specific examples of integrated disaster management. By exploring these cases, dashboard users can guide the adaptation of best practices to their local settings.
- Resources: The Disaster Risk Gateway serves as a collaborative wiki of tools, platforms, and methods. The MYRIAD-EU Handbook offers a shared language and conceptual alignment for multi-risk analysis. Storylines and repositories visualize past and potential future events, helping political authorities, the private sector, and civil society understand interconnections, plan adaptations, and strengthen resilience in their region.
- Themes: Multi-Risk Dynamics, Multi-Risk Scenarios, and Risk-Informed Decision-Making provide databases, models, and scenario tools to analyse hazard interactions, and support evidence-based, adaptive strategies across Europe.
Driving Systemic Change
By uniting data, methodologies, and case studies, the MYRIAD-EU Dashboard enables smarter decisions, fosters collaboration, and transforms systemic risk management across Europe.
