Análise do risco de inundação costeira a partir de múltiplas fontes para comunidades seguras e desenvolvimento sustentável
The MOSAIC.pt project aims to develop an innovative flood risk management framework for coastal zones, including estuaries, based on the integration of predictive models and real-time monitoring data, and taking into account the different dimensions of the vulnerability. The Portuguese coast presents a high risk of flooding, as shown by recent events (e.g. the Hercules storm in 2014), that is increasing with the sea level rise. To improve the response capability to these events, the understanding of the hazards, vulnerability and exposure of people and assets should be integrated in efficient methodologies that adequately contribute to better ways of planning and response to emergency.
