WP3 – Multicriteria Prep2Shelter methodology – Lead by LNEC
This WP concerns the development of a multi-criteria methodology to support shelter selection, based on a Performance Assessment System (PAS). The PAS is structured on the definition of objectives, assessment criteria, and metrics, designed to ensure consistency across different hazard scenarios, geographical contexts, and social conditions.
The Objectives–Criteria–Metrics framework builds directly on the outcomes of WP2, integrating evidence from the literature review and case study analysis. It is further refined through a co-creation process involving Disaster Risk Management (DRM) stakeholders, ensuring its relevance, robustness, and operational applicability.
The methodology developed in WP3 establishes the conceptual basis for the decision-support IT tool to be developed in WP4. It will subsequently be tested and validated in WP6, WP7, and WP8, contributing to the delivery of a practical, flexible, and user-friendly multi-criteria tool for disaster shelter planning.
