περιγραφή:

Project REDACt (Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment ConsorTium) aims at establishing a cross-border cooperation to promote common policies and strategies leading to sharing data, information and competencies in order to respond to major issues related to Earthquake Preparedness & Emergency Response, by providing reliable Real-Time information regarding  the induced damage including structures, gas pipelines, lifelines and geotechnical failures; prompt dissemination of respective alert information and; improvement of the public response to emergencies.

Since earthquake monitoring networks maintained by national authorities are deployed within national borders, lack of sufficient real-time data covering the "foreign" side of the border in Cross-Border Areas (CBA), limits planning and renders Emergency Response ineffective. By combining data and information from all sides of the borders, REDAS will solve this problem and provide to the Target Group, accurate and reliable information thus improving response efficiency in CBA.

Services & Software will be open to potential users and their modular structure combined with focused dissemination activities, will ensure both adaptation to other areas as well as future expansion in order to fully cover the Black Sea Basin, ensuring sustainability and multiplication of results. By improving cooperation on disaster prevention related environmental monitoring and cross-border availability & interoperability of updated online public access data and data products, REDACt will help increase public safety.
