RescueME Impact Chains

Impact Chains are cause-effect-models displaying direct and indirect impacts that arise from hazards in a system. Within RescueME, two local impact chains were co-created with each of the R-Labs (the RescueME case studies). The purpose of these impact chains is to co-analyse how a certain hazard – either climatic or non-climatic – affects different subsystems (“exposures”) in the R-Labs and how these “impacts” are influenced by internal factors (“vulnerabilities”).
