Early Warning Systems. An example that will certainly be followed in the next years by other directives covering other W&C induced hazards (Note that even the last IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, in the section dealing with Europe -Chapter 23-, explicitly quotes the commitment of the EU in developing early warning systems as best practices for disaster risk reduction and risk management, making explicit reference to research produced by FP7 projects; ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al. 2014 or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2011). In conclusion, to face the challenge of the W&C extreme events, it becomes crucial to develop tools to support decision makers in real-time coordination of the emergency management operations capitalizing on the advances in observation systems and in forecasting models able to anticipate the phenomena triggering these events and their impacts. 1 Disaster comes from old Greek “dis aster” meaning “bad star”, in the sense of a calamity blamed on the position of planets.
