*Call for Participation*

*Scope*

The RIMMA conference, held for the first time in Bern, Switzerland, 
focuses on integrated management of natural hazards and risks, where 
information and warnings play a crucial role. Effective warnings enhance 
preparedness and complement forecasts and emergency planning. Real-time 
data and warnings must be accessible, understandable, and tailored to 
different user groups. Impact-based warnings require collaboration 
between meteorological services, warning services, and user groups.

Visualization and communication are key to effective forecasting and 
warning systems. Modern maps are digital, interactive, and real-time, 
integrating spatiotemporal data, digital twins, and multimedia.

The conference will address open questions about user-centered 
information management, visualization of uncertainties, and the economic 
and humanitarian impacts of natural hazards, alongside topics such as 
system interoperability, process standardization, and early warning 
distribution channels.
