Catalonia region is affected by extreme climate and weather events (e.g., floods, forest fires, heat waves, and drought). The Large-scale Demonstrator (LSD) Catalonia within the Horizon Europe RESIST project (2023-2027) proposes transfer solutions with the tools to enhance capacity building on natural risk awareness and proactive preparedness in emergency management.
The first two tools, a real-time Multi-Hazard Early Warning System and Impact-based Site-specific Warnings, have been implemented locally with available forecasts and observations from local sensors, risk maps, and information on critical points, producing impact-based forecasts with enhanced functionalities. The third one, the Citizen Participatory Toolkit, includes a set of public survey questionnaires and guidelines on community resilience for local and regional Civil Protection based on current social perspectives on climate change-related natural hazards, risk information, and inclusive risk communication.
This presentation will showcase examples of these tools implemented in the RESIST pilot cities.
