In 2008, the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) commissioned EconoMe, an online tool to help them distribute subsidies for natural hazard mitigation projects. Consequently, an interdisciplinary team developed a method to assess mitigation projects concerning their effectiveness to reduce risk and their economic efficiency. Today, fifteen years later, this tool is a significant pillar and reference in Switzerland's natural hazards field. It is continuously being developed further, relying on the feedback and support from the natural hazard community. The newest feature is an interface which allows users to draw on information and calculations from EconoMe while working
in their GIS software.
