and sustainable society. The main vision of the European Plate
Observing System (EPOS) is to address the three basic challenges in Earth Sciences: (i) unravelling the
Earth's deformational processes which are part of the Earth system evolution in time, (ii) understanding
the geo-hazards and their implications to society, and (iii) contributing to the safe and sustainable use
of geo-resources

• Multi criteria analysis
– Well suited to initial identification of
consequences of risk elements
– Identifies most important risk elements for
further analysis
Multi criteria analysis
• Based on two elements
i. Priority criteria for assessment
ii. A character scale given to each risk factors
influence on the priority criteria
