Europe faces a growing diversity of natural hazards whose impacts vary widely across regions, sectors and communities. To capture this complexity, ARTEMis validates its technologies through five pilot lines covering droughts, floods, wildfires, landslides and earthquakes. 

Each pilot includes multiple real-world use cases, where the project analyses and re-runs data from significant past events to test forecasting components, visualisation tools and harmonised protocols under realistic conditions. This approach allows ARTEMis to assess exposure, vulnerability, operational gaps and cross-border dynamics across different hazard types, supporting the development of more integrated and impact-based emergency management across Europe.

Pilot Line 1 — Droughts 

Testing hydrological, agricultural and extreme drought scenarios across Italy, Slovenia and Catalonia to assess vulnerabilities, improve monitoring and strengthen impact-based forecasting for water resources, agriculture and energy systems.

Pilot Line 2 — Floods 

Validating real-time and seasonal flood forecasting in Greece, Italy and the cross-border Alps–Adriatic region, focusing on urban flash floods, riverine flooding and transnational emergency coordination.

Pilot Line 3 — Wildfires 

Evaluating advanced fire-risk modelling and exposure mapping in Attica to support prevention, early warning and operational response in one of Europe’s most wildfire-prone Mediterranean regions.

Pilot Line 4 — Landslides

Testing real-time geophysical monitoring, low-cost sensor networks and alert procedures for rainfall-induced landslides in the Friuli region to enhance local preparedness and cross-border applicability.

Pilot Line 5 — Earthquakes 

Assessing rapid damage estimation, exposure mapping and emergency workflows based on the historic 1976 Friuli earthquake to strengthen seismic readiness and improve cross-border emergency coordination.
