<div style="text-align:justify"> 
<p class="lead">This page provides the definitions of multi-hazard and multi-risk terminology adopted by the '''[https://www.myriadproject.eu/ <span style="color: #DB20D2">MYRIAD-EU project</span>]'''. They were compiled during the creation of the '''[[MYRIAD-EU Handbook of Multi-Hazard, Multi-Risk Definitions and Concepts|<span style="color: #DB20D2">Handbook of Multi-Hazard, Multi-Risk Terms, Definitions, and Concepts</span>]]'''. The handbook was developed to promote a shared understanding of terminology and concepts within the MYRIAD-EU project consortium and the broader community.</p> 

<p class="lead">Definitions were sourced from the wider literature or created by the MYRIAD-EU project consortium. Wherever possible, they align with established glossaries, including the '''[https://www.undrr.org/terminology <span style="color: #DB20D2">United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) terminology for disaster risk reduction</span>]'''. In all cases definitions are constructed for general usage and are not sector specific.

<p class="lead">For definitions related to individual hazards, we refer readers to the '''[https://www.undrr.org/publication/hazard-information-profiles-hips <span style="color: #DB20D2">UNDRR/ISC Hazard Information Profiles (HIPs)</span>]'''.
