This page provides the definitions of multi-hazard and multi-risk terminology and concepts adopted by the MYRIAD-EU project. They were compiled during the creation of the Handbook of Multi-Hazard, Multi-Risk Terms, Definitions, and Concepts, which was developed to promote a shared understanding within the MYRIAD-EU project consortium and the broader community.

Definitions were sourced from the wider literature or created by the MYRIAD-EU project consortium. Wherever possible, they align with established glossaries, including the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) terminology for disaster risk reduction. In all cases definitions are constructed for general usage and are not sector specific.

For definitions related to individual hazards, we refer readers to the UNDRR/ISC Hazard Information Profiles (HIPs).

Feedback and suggestions can be emailed to Disaster Risk Gateway

-One objective of the MYRIAD-EU project was to promote a common understanding of terminology and concepts related to multi-hazard, multi-risk management within the project consortium, and beyond to the wider community.  This was achieved through the creation of a Handbook of Multi-Hazard, Multi-Risk Terms, Definitions and Concepts, which we adopt in this wiki. This is an evolving work that will continuously be updated throughout the project. We welcome inputs from across the disaster risk management community.

-We follow established glossaries, including the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) '''[https://www.undrr.org/terminology terminology for disaster risk reduction]''', as well as generated definitions specific to terms and concepts applied in the project.
