Imagine a city where everyone knows exactly what to do when a flood or fire hits, and the local government can easily organize helpful neighbors who show up to help. Instead of chaos, there is a clear playbook and a digital map of who has which skills. It's like a community-wide rehearsal for emergencies so that the actual event is handled smoothly.
Emergency responders often struggle with uncoordinated citizen help and a lack of clear data on community capabilities during disasters, leading to inefficient responses.
A Navigable Atlas for self-assessment and a Preparedness Assessment Tool that identifies vulnerability and capacity gaps.
If you are an insurer dealing with high payout costs from urban flooding — this project developed a Preparedness Assessment Tool that identifies capacity gaps. This helps reduce risk by ensuring local communities are better equipped to handle disasters.
If you are a software provider dealing with fragmented emergency communication — this project developed a Navigable Atlas for self-assessment. This tool allows you to offer local authorities a way to map citizen capabilities and vulnerabilities.
If you are a facility manager dealing with uncoordinated crowds during crises — this project developed a strategy for the management of spontaneous volunteers. This allows you to integrate untrained but willing helpers into a safe, organized response plan.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or licensing costs are not mentioned as the project is currently in the research and demonstration phase.
The project is testing its tools in 3 real-world cases: La Réunion, Malta, and Rotterdam, suggesting a design intended for scaling across different urban and regional environments.
Based on available project data, the IP and licensing terms are not specified, though the project leverages results from 6 previous EU and national projects.
The project focuses on improving information sharing between local authorities, citizens, and the private sector through a capacity-building strategy and training modules.
The project is scheduled to run from 2023-12-01 to 2026-11-30.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 18 partners across 8 countries. With a 28% industry ratio (5 companies, including 3 SMEs), there is a strong link between academic research and practical business application, ensuring the tools are grounded in market needs.
