Description du projet
Une nouvelle approche pour une société plus consciente des risques et plus résiliente
Lorsqu’une catastrophe survient, qu’il s’agisse d’un tremblement de terre ou d’une attaque terroriste, les communautés se rassemblent pour réagir et faire face. Les citoyens jouent un rôle important au niveau local. Le projet ENGAGE, financé par l’UE, étudiera comment les individus et les pratiques locales peuvent interagir efficacement avec une préparation et une réponse planifiées, des praticiens et la technologie. En étudiant les stratégies, méthodes, outils et pratiques actuels, le projet les combinera et les élargira pour définir des solutions de gestion des catastrophes innovantes. Mené par un consortium de fonctionnaires, de premiers intervenants, d’ONG, de PME, d’industries, d’universités et d’associations de citoyens, le projet utilisera des données empiriques sur les contributions individuelles et collectives pour améliorer la résilience des sociétés. Il examinera également les aspects contextuels tels que les conditions socio-économiques, la culture numérique, la culture en général, le genre, le capital social, la confiance et la diversité.
Objectif
Natural and man-made disasters remind us how the ability of societies to adapt and prosper depends on the collective action of the whole society. But the significant role citizens and communities can play at the grassroots level has been overlooked in research. ENGAGE will turn this around, showing how individuals and local practices can interrelate effectively with planned preparedness and response, practitioners and technology. To achieve this bold goal ENGAGE will start with the knowledge, strategies, methods, tools and practices used by real world practitioners and citizens, and mature results from earlier projects. It will combine and extend these to create innovative solutions to disaster management and new ways of fostering trans-disciplinary collaboration and learning across disciplines. A model for assessing and methods for improving societal resilience will be complemented by an evolving knowledge platform providing actionable solutions meeting the diverse needs of authorities, first responders and citizens. ENGAGE will use empirical data on individual and collective contributions to societal resilience and take into account contextual aspects such as socio-economic conditions, digital literacy, culture, gender, social capital, trust and diversity. It will focus on aspects that can be directly enhanced such as risk awareness, communication, social media, citizens’ as well as authorities’ and first responders’ involvement. Real world field validations will be used to demonstrate and validate ENGAGE solutions and their transferability to diverse contexts across Europe. The consortium is complemented by a Knowledge and Innovation Community of Practice that already has 37 members and will grow during the project. This team includes representatives from authorities, first responders, citizens associations, NGO´s, SMEs, industries, schools and academia. Together, they will propose validated solutions contributing to specific SENDAI actions.
