Side-Event Risk I. M.: Risk Information Management: From Strategy to Implementation Location: A027 Seminar Room Chair: Horst Kremers National, cross-border, international, and global actions in all phases of disaster management are in due need of technical, organizational, and legal standards that allow for the required cross-organizational and cross-cultural harmonization.
While first international regulations on transnational information flow and processes have already been implemented successfully (transnationally, European, globally) in other domains for years (Environment, Geoinformation, etc.) and furthermore, overarching regulations already have been decided upon (European Data Act, Interoperable Europe Act etc.), implementation in the RISK domains still lack the concepts of how to approach the associated complexity, encourage and promote the elaboration of lighthouse realizations, discuss and make available suitable Testbeds, and mobilize the adequate workforce to achieve Facet Components that support data, information and workflow in predefined achievable timeframes.
