<\/figure>\n\n\n\nJana Breznik, researcher and teaching assistant at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, gave a lecture entitled \u201cTechnological solutions for water dynamics and flood risk reduction.\u201d The lecture covered topics that the professor researches related to spatial planning, GIS analysis, and remote sensing, but applied to natural disaster prevention and management. Specifically, it analyzed the role that satellite image processing can play, for example, those received from the Sentinel-1 satellite, which can play a key role in risk assessment and flood response planning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, Germ\u00e1n Llorca Abad, professor at the Gandia Campus of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, gave a lecture entitled Impact of communications on the DANA 2024 in Valencia, Spain. In his presentation, he addressed the issue of communication management in a specific natural disaster such as the DANA in Valencia, highlighting how social media and alternative communication sources played a key role in spreading rumors and fake news, which partly hampered disaster management. He also critically analyzed the role played by traditional media and different administrations. He expressed the need to have an official spokesperson to channel information in such tragic events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speakers, together with other participants, analyzed disaster management and the importance of multidisciplinary and transnational collaboration, recognizing that disasters are no longer considered \u201cnatural\u201d phenomena and require social co-responsibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This international event transcended borders, provided insight into Ibero-American experiences, and served as a means of transferring knowledge on the important topic of disaster and natural event management, with a focus on prevention and impact reduction in different societies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
