Abstract

HAZADR aims at strengthening a common reaction capacity of the communities belonging to the Adriatic Region against environmental and technological hazards due to collisions, shipwrecking and spillage of oil and toxic material into the sea that could seriously pollute the marine environment and damage the socio-economic activities of the Adriatic coastal communities. HAZADR helps the Adriatic regions:- to upgrade the knowledge framework over the estimated environmental and socio-economic risks in the Adriatic areas due both to natural and human-induced factors; - to provide the Adriatic emergency corps with a standardized decision support system (Real Time Risk Prevention System ) that helps understanding where the oil spill goes in case of hazards; - to set up a common database on the state of readiness and spatial distribution of pollution preventing equipment along the Adriatic coasts as well as the improvement of the operational instruments; to enhance the prevention structures in some of the most sensitive economic and ecologic poles of Adriatic through a joint meteorological radar monitoring program (based on a set of radar systems and VHF devices).

Obiettivi

The aims of HAZADR are:
-to upgrade the knowledge framework;
-to provide the Adriatic emergency corps with a standardized decision support system (ATLAS)
-to understand where the oil spill goes in case of hazards;
-to set up a common database on the state of readiness and spatial distribution of pollution preventing equipment along the Adriatic coasts;
-to put in operation a joint meteorological radar monitoring program (based on a set of radar systems and VHF devices);
-to harmonize, improve and shorten the deployment time of the cross-border reaction capacity and in the organization of some cross-border joint oil-spill simulations and exercises in the Adriatic;
-to reinforce - through the establishment of one Adriatic Training and Research Centre based in Rijeka and the cooperation with the European and International Organizations -a cross-border emergency capacity
