Scope

The RIMMA conference, held for the first time in Bern, Switzerland, focuses on integrated management of natural hazards and risks, where information and warnings play a crucial role. Effective warnings enhance preparedness and complement forecasts and emergency planning. Real-time data and warnings must be accessible, understandable, and tailored to different user groups. Impact-based warnings require collaboration between meteorological services, warning services, and user groups. 

Visualization and communication are key to effective forecasting and warning systems. Modern maps are digital, interactive, and real-time, integrating spatiotemporal data, digital twins, and multimedia. The conference will address open questions about user-centered information management, visualization of uncertainties, and the economic and humanitarian impacts of natural hazards, alongside topics such as system interoperability, process standardization, and early warning distribution channels.
