Overview

The early prediction of natural hazards helps monitor and anticipate risks, react before and during emergencies and manage recovery efforts. The JRC provides early warning and crisis management tools and services for authorities and humanitarian organisations worldwide.

By looking at possible developments that could affect EU policies, the JRC’s foresight work helps policymakers to take smarter, future-oriented policy decisions, to ensure that Europe is prepared for the demands of tomorrow.
