CORDIS results pack on disaster resilience

This document is a thematic collection of EU-funded projects addressing disaster resilience, with the goal of protecting citizens and improving emergency response. It highlights how Europe is facing increasingly complex threats, including extreme climate events and multi-hazard disasters, which challenge traditional response systems. The report emphasizes the need to move towards more integrated and innovative approaches, supported by digital technologies, predictive models, and advanced early warning systems.

Furthermore, the report strongly promotes a people-centred approach, where citizens, local communities, and first responders actively participate in disaster preparedness and response. The projects presented demonstrate how tools such as artificial intelligence, decision-support systems, multi-hazard simulations, and improved communication platforms can enhance the ability to anticipate, manage, and recover from disasters. Overall, the report shows that combining technological innovation with social engagement is essential for building more resilient societies
