Two other projects which are addressing these topics will contribute to the program.
The H2020 - RESILOC project which aims to study and implement a holistic framework of methods and software instruments required for the assessment of resilience indicators in a community. The studies will help design and implement software to collect information on such communities.
The ENGAGE H2020 project which explores how individuals and local practices can interrelate effectively with planned preparedness and response, practitioners and technology. By studying the current strategies, methods, tools and practices, the project combines and extends these to create innovative solutions for disaster management.
The webinar is open to all and free of charge.
