The Asian and Pacific Centre for the Development of Disaster Information Management (APDIM) of UNESCAP is organising an Expert Group Meeting on “Strengthening Disaster Risk Data Interoperability, Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment and Impact-Based Forecasting to Inform Policy Design and DRR Investment”. The meeting will bring together government representatives, technical institutions, international experts, and practitioners to exchange knowledge on disaster risk information systems, multi-hazard risk assessment, and evidence-based disaster risk reduction policies and investments.
The meeting will take place in Malé, Maldives, from 24 to 25 of November 2026, providing a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration on advancing disaster risk data interoperability and strengthening approaches to understanding and managing complex, interconnected risks.
Raquel Guimarães, Research Scholar at SYRR Research Group will participate as a speaker in Session III: Interoperability for Multi-Hazard and Systemic Risk Assessment, scheduled for 24 November, from 12:15 to 13:00 (Maldives time, UTC+5). She will deliver a presentation entitled “From Multi-Hazard and Systemic Risk Frameworks to Decision-Relevant Assessment: What Interoperability Needs to Deliver.”
The session will examine how hazard, exposure, vulnerability, impact, infrastructure, and socioeconomic information can be integrated to support the assessment of compound, cascading, and interconnected risks. Raquel's contribution will highlight the importance of interoperable risk information in translating multi-hazard and systemic risk frameworks into decision-relevant assessments that can inform policy development and disaster risk reduction investments.
