Online database of empirical evidence of dynamics and feedbacks of risk drivers

Existing risk models often do not account for dynamics in risk elements. Here we present the
Metadatabase for Dynamics of Risk Drivers, an online catalogue of data, algorithms and methods
to (empirically) assess dynamics and feedbacks of risk drivers. The metadatabase contains
information on methods, algorithms and data produced within MYRIAD-EU and beyond. It is
intended to be used by scientists and practitioners in the field of disaster risk modelling and
presents them with metadata attributes and references. We apply existing terminology frameworks
from within MYRIAD-EU and from other international standards to ensure consistency between
entries. Further integration into MYRIAD-EU products within the duration of the project are
discussed, like the integration in the Disaster Risk Gateway Wiki with semantic search functions,
and inclusion of several of the metadatabase’s entries into the multi-risk software from WP5. Future
expansion efforts rely on additional funding and the ability to attract external contributors, which
we aim to involve via conferences and future research calls.
