Project at glance

CORE (sCience& human factOr for Resilient sociEty) is a multi-disciplinary consortium established to understand how to define common metrics with respect to the different natural and man-made disaster scenarios, and how to measure, control and mitigate the impact on the populations, particularly on vulnerable groups: disabled, elderly, poor, as well as women and children. It contributes to Horizon 2020’s focus on secure societies where citizens are facing increasingly threatening situations. Recent natural and manmade disasters have shown gaps in the level of preparedness of European society for disasters, highlighting the importance of increasing risk awareness, which ensures a direct positive impact on citizen and organisational resilience among people and decision-makers in Europe. CORE will identify and use best practice and knowledge/learning from certain countries, such as Japan which experienced high levels of seismic, volcanic and tsunami risks but where risk awareness is high. It will provide optimized actions and solutions to help restructure and rebuild socio-economic structures after a disaster, across and outside Europe (Israel, India & Japan), where it will have access, through the end-users, to the relevant base of knowledge. CORE will lead to more efficient and effective policies, governance structures and broad awareness and collaboration among citizens, as well as between citizens and rescue agencies. Best practice and best procedures will be identified and reported to policymakers, end-users and disseminated to all stakeholders and NGOs. CORE will devote great attention to education in schools, making the young generation a sort of "prevention sentinels".

[EVENT]: CORE at the 2023 DRS CERIS event in Brussels

CORE project partners from the University of Salerno were in Brussels for the four-days CERIS DRS annual event, taking place this year from 4th to 7th December.

CORE was invited to make an intervention and join a panel discussion on Day II of the event. The whole day was dedicated to Societal Resilience and Governance and Societal Resilience Cluster (SRC) projects came together to showcase their work.

The second day started with an initial session that delved into the realm of multi-hazard risks and vulnerabilities, emphasizing risk awareness, early warning, and education. This was followed by a compelling panel discussion on connecting multi-hazard and compounding risk initiatives at the EU level.

In the afternoon, attention turned to a session exploring the active involvement of citizens in research projects, where CORE was invited to take part in the panel discussion moderated by RiskPACC project. Wrapping up the day, a panel chaired by Nathan Clark, coordinator of the LINKS EU Project steered a discussion towards adopting an all-society approach to disaster resilience: from research to policy recommendations.
