The CRISAFE project focuses on developing and implementing early warning systems for critical infrastructure protection and enhancing population awareness in multi-hazard cascading events. The project addresses the growing need for integrated disaster risk management approaches that consider the interconnected nature of modern infrastructure systems.

Through advanced monitoring technologies and innovative communication strategies, CRISAFE aims to improve the capacity of civil protection authorities and infrastructure operators to detect, assess, and respond to cascading threats. The project develops a comprehensive framework that integrates real-time data from multiple sources including environmental sensors, satellite imagery, and social media feeds to provide timely and actionable warnings.

A key component of the project is the development of population awareness tools that ensure effective communication of risks and recommended protective actions to affected communities, with special attention to vulnerable groups and cross-border scenarios.

Our tasks:

  • Development of multi-hazard risk assessment methodology for critical infrastructure
  • Integration of early warning systems with civil protection decision support tools
  • Implementation and testing of population awareness strategies at pilot sites in Croatia
