Better understanding and preparedness for drought risk: use of the "chrono-systemic timeline" tool for a transversal analysis (case study in Belgium)

editorial reviewed ; To study a drought which is a complex hazard with multiple and cumulative impacts depending on environmental and societal context, it is essential to understand the course of key events of the crisis and interactions between them. A better knowledge of the dynamics of this risk can improve the management of future crises by correcting identified past failures. In order to achieve these objectives, we used an original and innovative tool: the chrono-systemic timeline. This consists in a transversal analysis instrument that allows visualization – in a single diagram – of tem... Mehr ...
