Mandate➢DATer
◦ Preparation of the Programme Directeur d’Aménagement du Territoire 2050 (PDAT), includingthe identification of potential use conflicts, protection priorities and adaptation of landplanning measures in Luxembourg;
◦ Coordination of an inter-ministerial working group on “vulnerability/risk mapping” within theframework of PDAT (MEA) and the inter-ministerial Committee on Risk Management (MI);
◦ Production of a spatially explicit and cross-sectoral risk map that helps identifying vulnerableareas and contributes to the identification of individual hazards and the likelihood of theirimpacts on populations and their assets;
➢space4environment◦ To assist in the implementation of the inter-ministerial working group’s mission and in the
collection and processing of existing data and maps;
◦ To assist in the production of the first consensual multi-risk map for the summer of 2020,which can then be regularly updated.
IPCC framework for Disaster Risk AssessmentIPCC, 2012: Summary for Policymakers
Disaster risk is recognized as the consequenceof the interaction between a hazard and thecharacteristics that make people and placesvulnerable and exposed.
The risk factors
➢ Hazard – a potentially damaging physical event, phenomenon or human activity that maycause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption orenvironmental degradation;
➢ Exposure – the presence and number of people, property, livelihoods, systems or otherelements in hazard areas (and so thereby subject to potential losses);
➢ Vulnerability* – the set of characteristics and circumstances of a community, system or assetthat make it susceptible to the damaging effects of a hazard.
*Vulnerability and/or resilience is perhaps the hardest to assess. How will a building react to a flood, an earthquake, a storm? Something that is robust to one hazard may be vulnerable to another.

Review of state-of-the-art spatial data and national products in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg
The starting point for this review was a desk research of important keywords (e.g. risk, hazard,exposure, vulnerability and resilience) in Luxemburg's national official geoportal and associatedcatalogues, including:
➢ https://www.geoportal.lu/en/
➢ https://www.geoportal.lu/en/catalogues/data-catalogue/
➢ https://www.geoportal.lu/en/catalogues/inspire-catalogue/
➢ https://data.public.lu/en/organizations/administration-du-cadastre-et-de-la-topographie/
The preliminary data on hazards and related exposure and vulnerability factors is based on ourselection criteria and needs to be prioritised in agreement with the working group.
➢Collected available (public) spatial datasets (digital format);
➢Preparation of a geodatabase for the storage and manipulation of available spatial datasets;
Preliminary workWater points
➢Stored data and identified gaps and limitations, namely:
Preliminary results
- Spatial dataset already collected in geodatabase (e.g. shapefile, GeoTiff);
- Spatial dataset exists, but could not be collected in geodatabase (e.g. not available for download or only in pdf/ jpeg);
- Spatial dataset not found and not collected in geodatabase.
✓
Hazard data
➢ What are the priorities? Are there other hazards that should be considered? Which to keep and harmonize withother institutional initiatives/ action plans (e.g. DRR platform from MI)?

Types de risques retenus [Luxembourg]
➢ Risques naturels (inondations, tempêtes, Températures extrêmes, séismes, feux de forêt...);
➢Risques technologiques et industriels (explosions, pollutions, accidents nucléaires et radiologiques, accidents de transport de matières dangereuses,…);
➢Risques sanitaires et alimentaires (contamination de denrées alimentaires, maladies contagieuses,...)
➢Risques d’origine humaine (risque terroriste, cybercriminalité, troubles de l’ordre public,…)
