Solution

Switzerland already uses a mature national multi-hazard information platform known as GIN, developed by federal institutions and currently used by first responders and registered organisations. The GOBEYOND project brings added value by adapting the GOBEYOND Multi-Risk Impact-based Early Warning System (MR-IEWS) to extend the platform’s capabilities using:

• CLIMADA Impact Modelling Framework: Developed to simulate and visualize the socio-economic consequences of climate extremes, CLIMADA will be integrated into the Swiss prototype platform to model real-world impacts from natural hazards.
• UPC-CRAHI Flash Flood Model: This will be used to fill a critical gap in current capabilities—providing timely warnings for intense, short-duration rainfall events that trigger surface runoff and flash floods.
• Exposure and Risk Data Integration: Includes critical infrastructure maps, emergency shelter locations, employment and population statistics, and hospitalisation records related to climate extremes.
