Impact of Disasters in Mediterranean Regions: An Overview in the Framework of the HYMEX Project

been performed according to the HyMex (Hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment)
framework. HyMex is an international project focused on quantifying the hydrological
cycle in the Mediterranean, analyzing high-impact weather events in the context of
global change. According to their approach, the articles have been sorted in three groups:
(a) those that focus on short-to-medium term effects directly involving people and goods
impacted by the disaster; (b) those that focus on medium-to-long-term socio-economic
effects; and (c) those that focus on short-to-long-term physical and physiological effects on
individuals. The aim is to highlight the approaches used to address this issue in various
scientific fields and thereby to promote the sharing of both data and methodologies and
facilitate the use of an advanced multidisciplinary approach to the NDIA.
