Invited perspectives: Redefining disaster risk – the convergence of natural hazards and health crises This perspective paper develops a research agenda which is intended to advance our understanding of disaster risk considering potential health crises.

We are also pleased that the paper is featured on PreventionWeb, helping bring this perspective to the global disaster risk reduction community.

Invited perspectives: Redefining disaster risk – the convergence of natural hazards and health crises Abstract. Recently, the disaster risk field has made substantial steps forward to develop increasingly comprehensive risk assessments, accounting for the incidence of multiple hazards, trickle-down ef...

Our paper has been published in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS)

Our study explores how disaster risk frameworks can better integrate health dimensions and multi-hazard interactions.

Revealed: Europe’s water reserves drying up due to climate breakdown Exclusive: UCL scientists find large swathes of southern Europe are drying up, with ‘far-reaching’ implications

Ook Nederland wordt droger. Op de hogere zandgronden goed te zien als je je ogen niet in je zak hebt. Beken, vijvers en drinkpoelen die vaker en langer droog vallen. Daar komt het hoge watergebruik (vaak voor teelt van veevoer) nog bij.

We’re excited to announce our @egu.eu session!

NH10.1 – Multi-(hazard) risk assessment and management: innovative approaches for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

@silviadeangeli.bsky.social @drrobertsakic.bsky.social @cosminaalb.bsky.social @riskkan.bsky.social

Great @riskkan.bsky.social turn out at the kick-off meeting of the newly funded COST Action ANTICIPATE to advance long range predictions of Multihazards.

Many thanks to @drchriswhite.bsky.social, P. Rivoire and D. Domeisen for their leadership!

Exciting four years years ahead!

Are current Early Warning Systems (EWS) truly "multi-hazard"?

Join our @egu.eu session to share methodological advances and real-world practices!

@drrobertsakic.bsky.social @practicalaction.bsky.social @riskkan.bsky.social @drchriswhite.bsky.social @ivm-vu-amsterdam.bsky.social

It is that time of the year again: you can now submit your @egu.eu 2026 abstract! After last year's success, we are running again our session that brings together disaster, diseases, and health impacts! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio...

Compound-events community! Please join us Aug 4-6 in Portland, OR for a workshop connecting research and practice through systems-focused storylines. More info at cccriskworkshop2025.org, including a chance to provide input on priority themes. We're also on Bluesky: @cccriskworkshop25.bsky.social

Sophie Buijs and I are organising a splinter meeting at @eurogeosciences.bsky.social on Thursday May 1st from 12:45 until 13:45, open to anyone interested in disaster risk recovery research. Participants are invited to exchange ideas on advancing disaster risk recovery research in the coming years.

Still a whole week to submit your multi-hazard risk research to out EGU session!

Only a week left to submit your @eurogeosciences.bsky.social EGU25 abstract to this excellent and new session on Disasters, Diseases, and Health challenges! Session details and abstract submission here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Co-convened by @ekbal.bsky.social and others!

It was an absolute honour to be on a panel with Jean-Martin Bauer (director Food Security & Nutrition Analysis Service of the UN’s WFP) and Jelle de Jong (director WWF Nederland) as part of Marc’s (well deserved!) inaugural lecture for the appointment as professor!

At #AGU2024 and interested in multi-hazards, exposure-response curves, or both together? Come stop by my poster “Regional Differences in the Impact of Heat and Moisture on Public Health within Europe” tomorrow morning (12 Dec. @ 8:30-12:30) at board number 2704! ☀️🌧️

@agugeohealth.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨 Are you working on multi(-hazard)-risks? From hazard modelling to disaster risk governance... we want to hear from you!
Don't miss the chance to contribute to our session at #EGU25!

⏱️ Deadline: January 15

@drrobertsakic.bsky.social, @marleenderuiter.bsky.social, Anaïs Couasnon, Stefano Terzi

I would love to be added! I recently got a grant to look at consecutive hazards followed by waterborne disease outbreaks and I convene a session at EGU on disasters, diseases, and health. Thanks!

We are very excited to invite you to our Disasters, Diseases, and Health impacts session @eurogeosciences.bsky.social! You can find out more details on our session and access to abstract submission here: lnkd.in/enHSUTDA

Co-convened w/ @ekbal.bsky.social and several others!

Big congrats to Zélie Stalhandske who successfully defended her PhD dissertation today! Her work greatly advanced our understanding of multi-hazard risk and she made an excellent contribution to broadening the concept of multi-risk by also including health/disease aspects.

Sophie Buijs and I are looking for business owners, managers, or senior employees to fill out our survey on business recovery and resilience (~20 min). Open to participants from: NL, DE, AUS, and the Spanish Canary Islands.
