Resilience of territories to wildfires and floods

Wildfires and floods are becoming more frequent and more intense across Europe. National forecasts are advanced, but smaller regional and local authorities often lack the tools to turn them into concrete action on the ground. Communication with citizens also struggles to reach the most vulnerable.

AWARENESS bridges this “last mile” gap. It combines artificial intelligence, digital twins, early warning systems and immersive tools with a co-creation approach involving local communities. The goal is to move from top-down alerts to resilience built together.

• Strengthen local authorities’ capacity to prevent and manage emergencies, with a Decision Support dashboard based on hyperlocal data.
• Engage citizens and vulnerable groups through a two-way communication app and co-creation pathways.
• Test innovative solutions in five operational pilots in France, Spain, Italy, Norway and Poland.
• Spread a culture of risk across Europe, with a Replication Toolkit and recommendations for local policies.
