RiscBal · Legal notice
The information distributed through RiscBal channels and groups is strictly informational and preventive in nature. It is compiled from near-real-time data, predictive models, and technical criteria specific to an early warning and monitoring system.
RiscBal does not replace or override in any way the warnings, alerts, communications or orders issued by the official authorities competent in civil protection, emergency management or public safety, who are the only ones with the legal authority to activate emergency protocols and establish mandatory measures.
Despite efforts to ensure the highest reliability and up-to-date information, RiscBal cannot guarantee absolute accuracy, continuity of service, or the absence of changes resulting from the evolution of natural phenomena or the inherent limitations of the data, sensors and models used.
The information distributed does not constitute individualised technical, operational or legal advice, nor does it create any contractual relationship with users.
The use of information provided through these channels is carried out under the sole responsibility of the user, and RiscBal assumes no liability for direct or indirect damages that may arise from the interpretation, use or application of the information distributed.
The Universitat de les Illes Balears has a solid track record in the study and development of early warning systems for natural risks and has built up a body of scientific and technological knowledge geared towards smart land management and the transfer of knowledge in these fields. This line of scientific and technological work is carried out by the established R&D&I group, the Balearic Islands Observatory on Natural Risks and Emergencies (RiscBal), which forms part of a broader framework of institutional efforts to improve service to society, with the aim of promoting -in an integrated way- environmental monitoring, research into natural risks and the generation of applied knowledge for territorial management, thereby helping to strengthen analytical capacity, foresight and resilience, and ensuring access to rigorous information for the institutional, research, innovation and academic communities.
