Annually natural disasters bring tremendous harms to population and
nature and leave long-term consequences for the economy and
infrastructure of the affected regions. As a consequence the principal
target of this project will be the development of preventive
measures, emergency plans and plans to combat imminent dangers.
The participating regions to this project suffer, as many as others of
the CADSES area, of natural disasters such as Meteorological (storms,
floods, forest fires, droughts) or Gravitatoric causes (landslide,
avalanches, rock slide, mudflow, rock falls).
RIMADIMA aims to set up a common concept of a „Decision Support
System” as tool for an improved decision making process, for planning
departments and "Crisis Management Centers". This will give
possibilities of interaction between planning and crises intervention.
The structure of the concept as well as the demo-version of the DSS
software will be adaptable for every type of risks and every region of
the CADSES area.

O vera ll pro jec t objec tives
The project comes along with the ESDP (Development and conservation of the nature) and
with several CEMAT guidelines like reducing environmental damages, protecting
natural resources, encouraging sustainable tourism, limiting the impacts of the natural
disasters and promoting a balanced social and economic development of region.
Sustainable development, risk prevention and environment are substantial strategies for
the EU, which were adopted by the European Council in Göteborg and reinforced by
the European Commission with Revised Indicative Guidelines (2003).
The main project objectives are:
1. Planning, modernization and development of Crisis Management Centers (CMC)
integrated in national, regional and local entities targeting an increase of security for
an enhancement of the socio-economic structures (tourism, enterprises,
infrastructure, etc)
2. Promotion of co-operation and exchange of experiences on European level between
CMCs on national, regional and local level and spatial development departments on
national, regional and local level based on common European legislation and common
3. Elaboration and improvement of common spatial development directives, laws and
procedures in risk prevention and risk management
P rojec t R es ults
RIMADIMA intends to develop an Open-Source DSS Demo-version as a tool for
decision makers combining risk management and spatial planning factors
targeting:
• Improvement of planning methods for the spatial development departments in
order to enhance the planning processes in danger zones
• Improvement of the reaction time and communication flow for the Crisis
Management Center and preparation of the task forces
Therefore hardware and software for a dangerous atmospheric phenomena
monitoring system as environment for the DSS will be set up.
Based on the experiences of the partners, risk prevention concepts will be
worked out and visualized in GIS-web-based hazard maps adjusted for the main
topics:
• Natural disasters (gravitatoric and meteorological)
• Sustainable ecological tourism concepts
• Preservation of nature in forested and mountainous areas
The project focuses also on amendments to existing legislation and
recommendations on all level of governments to force risk reduction.
