This paper addresses the growing need to shift wildfire management strategies from suppression to greater preparedness and adaptation in response to increasingly frequent and intense wildfire events.

This study contributes to the tsunami science by evaluating potential building damages due to shaking and tsunami impact and providing decision support for evacuation strategies.

This study addresses the tsunamigenic potential of a submarine landslide occurring in a shallow water environment of Portugal, showing a need to include small but frequent events and their induced tsunamis in marine geo-hazard assessments of the region.

Portuguese citizens view wildfires as their top disaster risk but have lower disaster awareness and preparedness than the EU average. They rely on less formal information, highlighting a need for greater engagement in disaster preparedness.

This paper aims to contribute to the global efforts to enhance flood resilience in urban areas by introducing a physical vulnerability index for buildings in flood-prone urban areas and exploring its connection with flood hazard.

This seismic risk profile of Portugal, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.

This paper provides an overview of Portugal’s wildfire policies and practices and assesses the extent to which wildfire management in the country is evolving to adapt to growing wildfire risk under climate change.

The aim of this document is to standardize the coordination of actions to be developed and the management of mobilized logistic resources in the Municipality of Angra do Heroísmo.
