D8.8 - Awareness Workshop Report 2

This deliverable D8.8 is a report from the 2nd RiskPACC Awareness Workshop, which was conducted on June 14th in Berlin, Germany. The Workshop ‘Bridging the Risk Perception-Action Gap: tools and approaches to enhance Citizens and Civil Protection Authorities interaction’ was the second part of a series of four events, in which project partners, end users, academics and first responders participate and which serve to share project findings with a large scale of relevant stakeholders
Experts from within and from outside of the RiskPACC consortium were invited to the workshop. The core intention was to present the tools and approaches that the RiskPACC consortium developed to enhance the communication between citizens and Civil Protection Authorities to experts from all stakeholders in the field of disaster and risk management, and to receive their valuable feedback. The feedback received will be used to further advance the technological tools and finetune the approaches chosen in the next phase of RiskPACC, in which city representatives will test the solutions of the project.
The focus of RiskPACC has always been the close involvement of all stakeholders in the development, enhancement and application of any solutions that could potentially close the Risk Perception Action Gap. The Risk Awareness Workshops are a crucial part of this process, as they allow the RiskPACC partners to present to and receive feedback from some of the top experts in the fields, interested cities as well as members of the Advisory Board of RiskPACC. To get as much feedback as possible, the event was conducted in hybrid format.
The feedback collected during the workshops will now influence the testing of the RiskPACC solutions in the cities in WP6. It thus directly influences the Co-Creation approach that the project is built on.
