  EO4MULTIHAZARDS logo

The EO4MULTIHAZARDS Events Database ensures reliable data for the scientific community and promote comprehensive research efforts on multi-hazard events. Collected datasets come from different sources and will be update by automatic pipeline or manually when new data are available. Here is the list of data sources:

  • EMDAT portal provide a REST-API to download data to authorized user
  • EFFIS portal provide a standard and open Web Feature Service (WFS), to download datasets
  • British Geological Survey collects events datasets in United Kingdom and upload new data on the database when they are availbale

Collected informations are available for visualization but the full dataset is not downloadable due license restriction of input data. Events are accessible by the web interface, without restriction, and querie results are available for download. Additional information are available in the Web Interface page. In the project we harmonized these input datasets in a common format in order to compare them easily. Here we describe the most important functionalities of the Web Interface, to explore events information, visualize possible related events and find usefull Earth Observation (EO) datasets for further analysis. This useful EO datasets list is composed by datasets used in the project study cases, and will be maintained in the future by partners.

Web Interface

The Web Interface is the access to EO4MULTIHAZARDS database information. In the home page you can see the Overview Map that display the number of events for each region (NUTS level 2) in the initial time range 2020-2025, to provide an initial overview and reduce the loading time of the map.

Run a custom query, by using the filtering tools, allow you to display events features on the map and detail in the below table. This functionalities are described in the Web Interface page.

In the Menù at the top-right of the page you can access the following pages:

  • Project: official project website where you can find the full description of the project and its results.
  • Dataset: In this page you can see the full list of datasets selected and used in the project by the partners, that can be useful for further analysis.
  • Geostories: Here we list the Geostories produced in the project. Geostories are web pages that combine interactive web map with additional text, media, to describe project result or to describe specific hazard story. Additional Geostories will be added in future.
  • Contact: official project web page with all the scientific contacts.
