NEAM-COMMITMENT aims to enhance tsunami risk management in the North-East Atlantic, Mediterranean, and connected seas (NEAM) region.
It focuses on capacity building through national-scale tsunami hazard assessment and mapping, and improving local-scale tsunami evacuation planning. The project will develop tsunami inundation maps for Cyprus, Greece, and Spain, using methods aligned with Italy’s tsunami hazard mapping at national level. It also introduces a multi-hazard approach addressing cascading effects for tsunami evacuation at the local scale, piloted in Greece and Italy. Both objectives will employ science-based, participatory decision-making to maximize implementation effectiveness. Guidelines will be provided detailing the mapping methodologies, supporting improved tsunami risk management. Leveraging previous initiatives, the project fosters cross-border collaboration, advancing SFDRR 2015–2030 goals and strengthening preparedness under the NEAM Tsunami Warning System.
