Building on the capabilities and findings from the Resilience Challenge and other research programmes, the Next Generation Risk Assessment team will refine understandings of natural hazard processes and develop improved hazard and risk information.

How are we doing it?

We’ll be working closely with the Platform’s other science themes and programmes, particularly on the development and testing of risk treatment options.

Research projects will also be co-designed and co-produced with users, particularly at local and regional scales. Early results will help us identify local and regional focus areas.
