Welcome to the website of the Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment Expanded (REDA_NEXt) Project
About the Project
Building on the achievements of the previous BSB JOP 2014–20 REDACt (BSB-966) project, REDA_NEXt (BSB00942) expands both the scope and impact of the partnership. It further develops innovative systems and methodologies for earthquake hazard and risk assessment, covering a wider geographical area and introducing advanced damage assessment capabilities. By improving the quality and volume of available data, REDA_NEXt strengthens and extends cross-border cooperation, enhancing information exchange between partners and supporting more effective earthquake risk mitigation across the region.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The global objective is to is to develop innovative, jointly designed solutions for early warning, and to implement joint pilot actions that enhance regional resilience and protect both populations and critical infrastructure.
PROJECT’S SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Provide innovative, jointly developed solutions for early warning
Develop and integrate cross-border tools, models and procedures that support timely earthquake early warning and informed decision-making for authorities and civil protection.
Conduct joint pilot actions for population and infrastructure protection
Implement coordinated pilot studies in selected cities and regions to test the solutions in practice, improve emergency planning, and support the protection of people and critical infrastructure.
Enhance rapid earthquake damage assessment capabilities
Upgrade and expand the REDA.p platform, databases and methodologies to deliver faster, more accurate estimates of damage and risk for buildings, lifelines and geotechnical hazards across the region.

EXPECTED RESULTS
- Upgraded REDA.p platform
An expanded, more powerful Rapid Earthquake Damage Assessment (REDA.p) platform, capable of providing faster and more accurate scenario-based and near real-time damage assessments for a wider Black Sea region. - Harmonised seismic risk information
Common, up-to-date datasets and models for seismic hazard, earthquake risk and geotechnical hazards, ensuring comparable results across all participating countries. - Tested solutions through joint pilot studies
Pilot applications in selected cities and regions that validate the upgraded tools in real conditions and generate ready-to-use databases for future real-time assessments. - Stronger, long-term cross-border cooperation
Formal cooperation agreements, regular data and information exchange, and joint training activities that sustain and further develop REDA.p beyond the project’s lifetime. - Improved disaster risk prevention and preparedness
Better support for civil protection authorities, decision-makers and first responders, contributing to enhanced earthquake resilience for populations and critical infrastructure.
EXPECTED OUTPUTS
- Updated, harmonized REDA framework for the wider Black Sea Basin
- Upgraded REDA.p platform
- Improved regional databases and models
- Joint pilot applications and ready-to-use case studies
- Communication and capacity-building material
