This project deals with the comprehensive management of risk (multi-risk) of air pollution and flood thanks to ICT. This programme is articulated around three major and concrete points:

1. Education in comprehensive management of risk (in particular: courses on remote detection and geographic information systems)
2. Urban pollution and flood  simulator regarding particularly the management of the Cameroonian coast (approximately 600 km)
3. Web visualisation of the geographic information system on the pollution and flood risks in the coastal area (map projection and availability of the alerts in real time)

The project looks forward to contribute to improve the management of the risks linked to urban pollution and to the Cameroonian coast issues. The project also looks forward to (thanks to the implementation of a collaborative alert e-infrastructure) to support networking between the community of intellectuals technologists and their collaboration with the national academic institutes.

Trainers, decision makers.

Supervision of the urban physical environment and of the African coast. The implementation of an appropriate supervision system is becoming increasingly necessary for the African countries, considering the socio-economical evolutions and emerging concerns

First of all, the object of the project can be summarised around a programme, the multi-risk management of air pollution and flood thanks to ICT. This programme shall reflect three principal and concrete achievements:
1° - Education in multi-risk management (in particular: courses on remote detection and geographic information systems) ;
2° - A urban pollution simulator as well as a simulator for the observation of the temporal evolution of the Cameroonian coast (approximately 600 km)
3° - Web visualisation of the geographic information system on the urban pollution and flood risks in the coastal area (map projection and availability of the alerts in real time)
