EU funded programme for the Prevention, Preparedness and Response to natural and man-made disasters

in the ENPI East Region (PPRDEast)

ERRA Final Conference

Prague, Czech Republic

Venue

23-24 April 2014

The main purposes of the workshop, the presentation of Electronic Regional Risk Atlas (ERRA), ERRA training to the respective participants with guidelines and tips of using ERRA to the Partner Countries benefit has been fulfilled. The objectives, as: Presentation of ERRA portal, Presentation of ERRA modules, Presentation of Risk mapping process and results, Hazard / Critical Asset/ Vulnerability mappings, Discussion on the opportunities of further cooperation (for example, within the framework of the PPRD East Phase II etc.) has been also achieved.

During two days of workshop participants beside the presentation of final ERRA system have excellent opportunity to confront PPRD East phase I. with the project PPRD South phase I. and phase II. Of course mainly in Electronic regional atlas development. That gives them ideas about how to use and continue with ERRA after phase one is finished.

Very important part of event was also presentation of current situation in Europe, presentation of systems used in Italy, but also overall presentation about actual Geoinformatics science in Europe.

All presentations are attached in separate files. The ERRA system was presented online.

Participants from all countries expressed their satisfaction with the developed ERRA systems and the willingness for using the system in future. All countries wants to continue with ERRA development in second phase.

The presentation of complete risk mapping process, including hazard mapping, vulnerability evaluation, critical asset classification and final risk mapping was also accepted well. The common comment was request for more detailed assessment in future. The detailed risk assessment would bring direct improvement of civil protection in ENPI countries.
