Researchers, the insurance industry, and members of the Federal administration all have a central interest in extreme events. This relates to prediction, preparedness, and warning, but also to adaptation and risk reduction. This workshop, jointly organized by the WSL Extremes Program, SCOR, and Schweizer Hagel, stimulated a dialogue among 40 experts on common interests and topics to be further explored jointly (e.g., standardization needs, drought information tools, interface to civil protection).
