AMHEI – Advancing Multi-Hazard Understanding in Earthquake-Affected Regions

British Geological Survey – BGS (GB)

Summary

AMHEI aims to revolutionize multi-hazard assessment by developing AI-driven models to better understand long-term hazards scenarios associated to landslides, floods and earthquakes. While most research has focused on single hazards as standalone event or short-term impact following major earthquakes or floods, AMHEI seeks to fill a critical gap by investigating the long-term assessment of hazards and their interaction in space and time.
Our initial focus was on analyzing the effects of earthquakes, using the February 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake as a case study. Building on this, we extended our approach to address the multi-hazard dynamics associated with storm events, selecting the May 2023 floods in Emilia Romagna as a representative example.
By integrating satellite-derived data on key environmental and climate variables with advanced machine learning techniques, AMHEI will generate novel multi-hazard maps and guidelines. These will provide actionable insights for civil protection agencies, urban planners, and policymakers, contributing to disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.

    When the ground trembles during a powerful earthquake, the danger doesn’t end once the shaking stops. Hidden threats like landslides and floods often emerge later, putting lives and infrastructure at risk weeks, months, or even years after the main event.     The knowledge gap Collapsed buildings and fast-moving landslides make headlines, but earthquakes destabilise …
