Multi Hazard

Provides emergency managers and disaster preparedness professionals with practical, step-by-step guidance for designing and conducting simulation exercises that test and strengthen response plans, procedures, and coordination systems across all hazards.

Solution

An annual Italian programme that trains young people each year in disaster risk awareness and civil protection through immersive week-long camps.

Case

A policy and planning toolkit used by education and disaster risk management actors to assess, reduce, and manage risks affecting learners, educators, and education systems. The solution outlines foundations and pillars for systemic action to protect learners, keep schools open during crises, and build resilience through risk education and inclusive safety management. 

The CSSF aims to:

Solution

A free, modular resilience guide that equips Red Cross Red Crescent branches and community-based organisations in urban areas to lead practical, low-cost activities that strengthen community preparedness and reduce disaster risk.

Solution

A national school-based preparedness programme that uses classroom materials and a game to teach primary school children how to recognise risks and act safely in emergencies.

Contribution

A comprehensive digital solution that equips residents and visitors of Estonia with standardized, actionable instructions to prepare for and respond to a wide array of crises, from natural disasters to cyber-attacks. The platform features an interactive household supply checklist, first-aid instructions, and survival guidelines tailored to the Estonian context. Its mobile application is designed to function entirely offline once downloaded, ensuring that citizens have uninterrupted access to life-saving information even during severe power or telecommunications outages.

Solution

Professional emergency services may, at times, be limited in their response capacity and are often forced to focus their efforts on providing only the most essential assistance. Ready2Help is especially beneficial when a large number of people are quickly needed to provide extra support. This includes physical assistance (e.g. filling sandbags, carrying goods), sheltering groups of people, relieving healthcare personnel or providing assistance by making resources available (e.g. places to sleep or means of transport).

Solution

A digital platform and citizen network designed to mobilize local mutual aid and risk awareness through a "Citizen Volunteer" model before, during, and after disasters.

Solution

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.

Solution

This solution is an institutional textbook designed to provide school teachers with a structured framework for teaching civil protection as part of the compulsory Civic Education course. It offers detailed modules covering the history of the National Civil Protection Service, the scientific basis of diverse hazards, and practical self-protection measures. The textbook serves as an official reference to foster a culture of prevention and community resilience from an early age.
