Lessons learned from storm disasters
The NEDIES project is being conducted at Ispra by the Institute for the Protection and Security of the Citizen (IPSC), formerly the Institute for Systems, Informatics and Safety (ISIS), of the EC Joint Research Centre (JRC). The objective of the project is to support the Commission Services of the European Communities, Member State Authorities and EU organizations in their efforts to prevent and prepare for natural and environmental disasters and to manage their consequences. A main NEDIES activity is to produce "lessons learnt" reports based on experience gained from past disasters. This report discusses lessons learnt from recent storm disasters. It is based on the contributions presented at a NEDIES meeting held at Ispra JRC on 3 and 4 May 2001.
