Decision making and support
Main content start
There is a growing number of decision aids made available to the general public by those working on hazard and disaster management and global environmental change. When based on high-quality scientific studies across disciplines and designed to provide a high level of usability and trust, decision aids become more likely to improve the quality of hazard risk management and response decisions. Our studies strive to build upon this existing literature in new and creative ways to promote informed decision-making.
