The project PRE-EMERGENCIES aims to develop a model of response to emergencies with the goals of:
- enhancing integration among the various entities involved in planning and managing response to an emergency;
- enhancing communication and information exchange and quality between response teams and civilians, in crisis situations
Specifically, the project focuses on two specific areas: progressively mounting risk disasters (e.g., floods) and sudden disasters (e.g., accidents in railway or road tunnels). Concerning the latter, particular attention will be focused on cross-border disasters, because they serve to exemplify highly complex, unpredictable, and difficult-to-manage emergency situations. The project will therefore enables us to pinpoint the critical elements occurring in cross-border disasters, with the aim of developing a "common and shared language".
