The web-based simulation and information service for multi-hazard impact chains. Design document

The overall objective of the PARATUS project and the platform is the co-development of a web-based simulation and information service for first and second responders and other stakeholders to evaluate the impact chains of multi-hazard events with particular emphasis on cross-border and cascading impacts. This deliverable provides a first impression of the platform and its components. A central theme in the PARATUS project is the co-development of the tools with stakeholders. The central stakeholders within the four applications case studies are therefore full project partners. They will be directly involved in the development of the platform. We foresee that the PARATUS Platform will have two major blocks: an information service that provides static information (or regularly updated information) and simulation service, which is a dynamic component where stakeholders can interactively work with the tools in the platform. The PARATUS will further make sure that documentation (e.g., software accompanying documentation) is also publicly available via the project website (https://www.paratus-project.eu/ ) and other trusted repositories. The deliverable 4.1 was submitted to the European Commission on 31/07/2023 and is waiting for approval by the Research Executive Agency. Therefore, this current version may not represent the final version of the deliverable
