2. PRIMED P areto-optimal R esilience I n M ajor E uropean D isasters Aim: To determine the combinations of disaster management policies across different ECI which lead to resilience which can be described as “optimal” Objectives: 1.Determine how different preparedness and mitigation policies across Europe influence X (for various ECIs) 2.Determine how different response and recovery policies across Europe influence T (for various ECIs) 3.Determine the interdependence of resilience curve shapes across different (1) ECIs (2) countries 4.Through computer experiments, determine “management cycles” which lead to resilience which is Pareto-optimal
