ENHANCE project aims to develop and analyse new ways to enhance society’s resilience to catastrophic natural hazard impacts, by providing new scenarios and information in selected hazard cases in close collaboration with stakeholders, and by contributing to the development of new multi-sector partnerships to reduce or redistribute risk.

ENHANCE project aims to develop and analyse new ways to enhance society’s resilience to catastrophic natural hazard impacts, by providing new scenarios and information in selected hazard cases in close collaboration with stakeholders, and by contributing to the development of new multi-sector partnerships to reduce or redistribute risk. Innovation in multi-sector partnerships is essential, as (ineffective) cooperation between public, private and civil society institutions often leads to failures in risk management. The ENHANCE project studies the potential for new multi-sector partnerships for managing different catastrophic hazards, related to heat waves, forest fires, flood, drought, storm surge, and volcanic eruptions. Key to successful partnerships is a common understanding of risks and the implications of proposed risk reduction instruments. Therefore, ENHANCE facilitates a participatory process to develop MSPs in cases studies at different geographicaland spatial scales in Europe.
