Il y a 40 ans on alertait. Il y a 20 ans on alertait. Il y a dix on alertait. Aujourd’hui on alerte.

Qu’est-ce qu’on a raté? Que faut-il faire pour qu’au lieu d’écouter les scientifiques on les entende?

While practitioners are prompt to call for more risk communication campaigns, the impacts of disadvantage on awareness are too often overlooked.

Risques de crues : un exercice d’alerte va faire sonner les portables des Franciliens à partir de ce lundi Le dispositif FR-Alert sera testé du 13 au 17 octobre dans plusieurs départements d’Ile-de-France. Les concernés recevront une notification les informant d’un risque de crue majeure de la Seine, dans le cadre de l’exercice Hydros-25.

🇷🇴 Severe Flooding in Bucharest and Prahova County, Romania (June 9, 2025)

🌧 On June 9, torrential rains triggered widespread flooding across multiple regions of Romania.

Beyond indices: Profiles of social vulnerability for flood risk reduction

Profiles are revealing intersectional complexity obscured by aggregate index scores. Their geographies of social vulnerability can inform strategies for equitable flood adaptation.
