People with Disabilities

A comprehensive fire prevention toolkit and guidance system designed to help residents identify and mitigate fire risks within their homes. The solution integrates a physical/digital guide with the "Home Fire Safety Checker," an online tool that categorizes household risk levels. Based on the results, the system offers tailored advice or triggers a professional home fire safety visit from local fire crews. It covers a wide range of hazards, including lithium battery safety, electrical maintenance, and specialized escape protocols for high-rise buildings.

An immersive safety education “experience village” that trains children and seniors to recognise risks and take safer decisions in real-life situations.

The Tokyo Resilience Project is a city-wide preparedness programme that equips residents with practical tools and learning experiences to improve everyday disaster readiness.

In practice, the project operates as a multi-hazard resilience “umbrella”: it strengthens physical protection (e.g., regulating reservoirs and river measures; coastal protection and sea-level-rise readiness; upgrading buildings and lifelines) while also trying to make preparedness “everyday” through accessible products and outreach. Examples of public-facing outputs include:

A practical household preparedness guide that helps people manage the first 72 hours of an emergency when essential services may be disrupted. 

ReBuS provides a structured methodological framework and operational tools to assess community resilience and to guide strategic planning and public action in the context of crises, emergencies, and systemic change, through a holistic, participatory and multi-level approach.

EDURES provides a comprehensive conceptual and operational toolkit for assessing, planning and strengthening the resilience of educational ecosystems, enabling education authorities and stakeholders to prepare for, respond to and adapt to crises while ensuring continuity, accessibility and democratic values in education.

Safecast designs and deploys open hardware and software tools that enable citizens and experts to collect, share and access high-quality environmental data. Originating from a post-disaster information gap, Safecast promotes transparency, public trust and evidence-based decision-making through open data and community-driven monitoring.

A structured system where Japanese municipalities and welfare institutions create personalized evacuation strategies for vulnerable people, verified through inclusive drills and coordinated with local support networks.

A multi-level assessment tool (Preliminary and Detailed) that allows cities to establish a baseline for resilience, identify gaps in preparedness, and prioritize actions and investments across various sectors.

The "SMURD Mobile Training Center / Caravan – Be prepared" project is a truck-based mobile classroom providing hands-on first aid and emergency preparedness training to various locations in Romania.
It includes lectures and demonstrations using equipment and simulators, led by IGSU/SMURD staff.
The goal is to increase citizens' ability to respond appropriately when "every second counts," reducing the risks associated with events such as fires, floods, or earthquakes.
