Portugal

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.

The aim of this report is to investigate the potential for harnessing key features of Transformative Innovation to improve the design and the implementation of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) strategies, based on empirical analyses.

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.

This article aims to contribute to the research on flood vulnerability in historic urban areas by presenting and discussing the application of an index-based methodology specifically tailored to assess flood risk in historic urban centres.

This article contributes to developing an indicator-based vulnerability assessment framework for cultural heritage sites. It provides a vulnerability index for heritage sites exposed to multiple hazards, including sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards.
