Second post-disaster evaluation field visit to the Roya Valley

18/12/2020

In connection with our work analysing tools and methods used to manage large-scale natural disasters, and given the increasing frequency and seriousness of these extreme events, a second evaluation field visit was carried out in the Roya Valley in the Alpes-Maritimes department to analyse the progress being made and the lessons to be learned from the reconstruction.

This field visit follows on from an initial real-time evaluation field visit to the Roya, Tinée and Vésubie valleys in October 2020. The aim is to analyse the response to disasters of this kind both in the short-term and the long-term, and to reinforce the lesson learning process that began two weeks after Storm Alex.

The findings of this evaluation will feed into a comparative analysis of disaster management ‘here and abroad’ that will be carried out in 2021 in connection with the RePER network.
