Objectives
The aim of this WG is to provide a description of the state-of-the-art of existing LEWS in form of a catalog. The aim is to describe established and operational LEWS, as well as those in a final development stage. National/regional LEWS will be described in the first phase, and later, also local LEWS will be incorporated, on condition that they are interconnected with regional. The preparation of a homogenous international catalog of LEWS will be accompanied also with the revision of existing terminology and definitions used in LEWS and with a common understanding of their basic components.
Activities
Review of existing international terminology and proposal of a multi-language glossary of generally accepted terms and definitions used in LEWS.
Developing a commonly sharable catalog of LEWS that describes the state-of-the-art of territorial and local LEWS. The catalog will be prepared by reviewing existing literature that includes descriptions LEWS (i.e. Stähli et al 2015, Piciullo et al. 2018, Pecoraro et al. 2019, and Guzzetti et al. 2020) and/or by on/off-line interviewing members of the LandAWARE, for those cases not described yet in international literature. The catalog format will be based on common terminology and descriptors open to future addendum.
