NUTS 4 (Municipality)

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.

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).

The solution provides ready-to-use, scenario-based materials that help organisations simulate cyber incidents and strengthen their response coordination and decision-making capacity. The packages include facilitator guides, scenario narratives, injects, and evaluation tools that enable organisations to conduct structured discussion-based exercises without requiring technical simulation infrastructure. 

A board-game-based educational toolkit that helps children understand hazards and disaster risk reduction through interactive gameplay and structured learning activities.

A printable, facilitator-led game that teaches teenagers practical safety behaviours for floods and wildfires through riddles, cooperative mini-games, and a debrief discussion.
The toolkit places participants in a scenario where they have 30 minutes to support a local councillor by identifying “good practices” for protecting people and reducing risk. It is designed for group play (4–6 participants) with an adult activity leader and ends with a structured debrief to consolidate learning.

A modular fire safety education programme for secondary schools that helps teachers build students’ practical knowledge and safer behaviour.
BFireSafe@School provides structured learning content (units/modules) supported by digital components (e-learning/LMS), enabling schools to integrate fire safety into classroom delivery in a consistent and repeatable way. It was developed through a multi-country consortium and is made available in multiple languages to support transferability across education systems.

A community training programme that turns residents into organised, trained volunteers who can support emergency response and recovery in their neighbourhoods.

A national preparedness campaign that gives the public clear, practical steps to prepare for disasters and emergencies.

Ready.gov offers all-hazards and hazard-specific guidance - plans, supply kits, alerts and warnings, and recovery actions, with dedicated sections for Ready Kids and Ready Business that tailor preparedness actions to schools/families and the private sector.

This guide provides practical strategies for engaging children as active participants in disaster risk reduction. It frames children not merely as vulnerable groups but as agents capable of contributing ideas, identifying risks, and supporting community preparedness. Through participatory methods, case studies, and hands-on activities, the guide demonstrates how children can be meaningfully involved in planning, prevention, and resilience-building at the community level.

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.
