The European project EMERGE – Rapid Multi-Risk Needs Evaluation and Planning Platform –<\/b> has published the first scientific and methodological results developed within Work Package 2 \u2013 Comprehensive Multi-Risk Assessment Platform for Needs Prioritisation and Planning<\/strong>, marking a key step in defining the operational approach underlying the platform.<\/p>\n

EMERGE is a project funded under the Union Civil Protection Mechanism (UCPM)<\/b> and aims to develop an innovative platform for rapid needs assessment and multi-risk assessment to support civil protection authorities and emergency responders, with a particular focus on cross-border contexts.<\/p>\n

The project focuses primarily on natural hazards such as earthquakes and landslides, integrating data, methodologies, and digital tools to improve decision-making in the immediate aftermath of a disaster.<\/p>\n

The first published deliverable, D2.1 \u2013 \u201cReview of Best National, European, and International Methodologies and Practices for Multi-Risk Assessment and Needs Planning\u201d<\/b><\/a>, provides a systematic review of the main methodologies, regulations and operational practices currently adopted at the national, European, and international levels in multi-risk assessment and rapid needs planning processes.<\/p>\n

The comparative analysis highlights good practices, gaps, inconsistencies and areas for improvement, providing a solid knowledge base for selecting the most appropriate methodological approach to adopt in the EMERGE project.<\/p>\n

This forms the basis for the second Deliverable, D2.2 \u2013 \u201cElaboration of Guidelines for CBR implementation of the selected Needs Assessment Approach\u201d<\/b><\/a>, which translates the results of the methodological review into operational guidelines<\/b> for the implementation of a Rapid Needs Assessment methodology applicable to the Cross-Border Region (CBR) between North Macedonia, Greece, and Albania.<\/p>\n

Deliverable D2.2 proposes an integrated approach that combines:<\/p>\n
