| Anotation | Intensity of extreme weather events resulting from climate change have increased in CE and will continue to grow. LOCALIENCE partners have a shared disaster management weakness: professionals provide one-directional, frontal information and services to stakeholders, considering them as mere recipients, instead of building on collaborative and interactive measures, and exploiting all available capacities. This challenge can be most effectively tackled on the local level: settlements concentrate citizens and assets at risk, offer locations for on-the-ground cooperation, can sensitize and mobilize local communities and can effectively test novel solutions. The overall aim of LOCALIENCE is to improve response capacities and resilience to extreme weather events through enhanced collaboration of disaster management professionals with local, non-professional public and civil stakeholders, through improved capacities on both sides, feasible solutions exploring interactivity and end-user inclusion and justified policy improvement. |
