TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy to advance multi-hazard disaster risk management JO - Progress in disaster science A1 - Terzi, Stefano A1 - De Angeli, Silvia A1 - Miozzo, Davide A1 - Massucchielli, Lorenzo Stefano A1 - Szarzynski, Joerg A1 - Carturan, Fabio A1 - Boni, Giorgio SP - e100268 EP - e100268 VL - 16 IS - N2 - COVID-19 challenged all national emergency management systems worldwide overlapping with other natural hazards. We framed a 'parallel phases' Disaster Risk Management (DRM) model to overcome the limitations of the existing models when dealing with complex multi-hazard risk conditions. We supported the limitations analysing Italian Red Cross data on past and ongoing emergencies including COVID-19 and we outlined three guidelines for advancing multi-hazard DRM: (i) exploiting the low emergency intensity of slow-onset hazards for preparedness actions; (ii) increasing the internal resources and making them available for international support; (iii) implementing multi-hazard seasonal impact-based forecasts to foster the planning of anticipatory actions.
