cause relief expenses of billions of euros. With the increase of natural
disasters that have occurred in the past years, it is expected their
frequency will continue to increase in the coming years.

settings, not-for-profit organization backgrounds, agriculture, marine
life, welfare, risk management, safety engineering and social networking
services will be included.
At present, at global and national levels, a wide range of multiple
scientific and scientific-applied research activity in the area of
disaster risk reduction concerning individual types of disasters is
conducted. Modern information and communication technologies can
facilitate significantly the decision-making processes from the point of
view of disaster risk reduction.
ITDRR-2021
provides an international forum for researchers and practitioners to
present their latest R&D findings and innovations. The conference is
