Background
• European CPs are getting more active in emergency
management with huge DB collections on multi-risks
• European trend in governance shifts progressively to the
local/regional level and the citizens are thus called as first
actors of civil protection
• People often do not have chance to interact participatively
in the surveillance of the territory
• Involvement of the population can provide positive costeffective and context-specific strategies of territorial
surveillance.

Project aims and benefits
• Identifying gaps in the information sharing system in terms
of territorial knowledge
• Empowerment of civil society members as ‘territorial
mappers’ through GPS-localised mobile devices (citizens CP volounteers)
• Design and implementation of dedicated training courses on
the monitoring actions from citizens
• Crowd sourcing in hazard management as key-strategy for
the active participation of population reducing costs of
recovery
• Enhancing active participation and responsibilisation of the
population in territorial management and risk mitigation

Expected results
• Development of a multi-module tool (mobile devices) with a
strategy prone to human resources
• Create collaborative user environments for emergency
response and support during crisis
• Test a networked disaster response community
• Raising public awareness towards instruments for a long term
goal of involvement and participation
• Easy-to-use “human-data” input on crisis management,
maximising utility of citizens - CP volounteers response
• Improvement of peer-produced mapping
• End User Advisory Board (EAB) network
