IN4SAFETY
Specific objective: SO 4 - Promoting climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention, resilience, taking into account eco-system based approaches
Typology: capitalisation project
The common challenge addressed by IN4SAFETY is to build cooperation for disaster risk prevention and climate change risk reduction, which dictates the need for a more coordinated response to natural disasters in the program area. The vulnerability of the area and the need for cooperation was particularly demonstrated by the fires in the cross-border area of the Karst in the summer of 2022.
- The overall objective of the project is to promote resilience capacities to climate change and the prevention of risks related to natural disasters by strengthening cross-border cooperation between local authorities and rescue teams through the development of 2 action plans, the integration of territorial data and joint training of rescue teams.
- The innovation of the project lies in the establishment of a helicopter emergency plan, which complements the already established crossborder cooperation with a cross-border airborne intervention system for faster and more efficient rescue operations, and the complementation of the territorial platforms with electronic data on the terrain and high obstacles needed for airborne rescue.
The main direct output of the project is joint emergency action plans in the cross-border area, and the results are improved capacities for climate resilience and natural disaster risk prevention, benefiting governance authorities at all levels, civil protection and emergency responders, research and education institutions and the local community.
