Time and again, storms, floods, earthquakes, and other extreme events cause many deaths and severe damage. Due to the global change, in particular climate change, population growth, urbanization, and our dependence on critical infrastructures, the frequency and effects of such events will increase significantly in future. Research by KIT’s Center for Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Technology, CEDIM for short, is aimed at causes and at managing and preventing natural and technical risks.

From May 30 to June 2, 2022, CEDIM together with the KIT spin-off Risklayer present their work on disaster research at the Hannover Messe. KIT’s startup Risklayer models and analyzes these risks and identifies the solutions to reduce them.

Material for the Hannover Messe:

• New CEDIM Flyer
• CEDIM data sheet
• Risklayer data sheet
• Press Release: More Resilience for Critical Infrastructures
• Managing Risks – Keeping an aye on weather extremes, climate, and environment:
