"This project is part of the plan RISK" : The project aims to increase ALCOTRA’s territory resilience thorough actions of information toward population, institutions and economical actors. The information and the raise of awareness of these publics are focused on prevention and management of risky situations, protection measures and safety to take at individual scale in case of emergency according to management plans of safety and emergency. This project includes also modalities to share information and efficiency of the emergency and information linked to the progression of the events. The goal is to optimise the information exchange at cross-border level and put them together, including and developing them, various pre-existing systems in French and Italian territories, thorough ICT.

ALCOTRA’s territory is subject to numerous risks. Some of them ignore borders (natural risks), some others are susceptible to be replicated on both sides of the border or to request a joint intervention (industrial, urban and technological risks). These specifics risks need an enforced cross-border cooperation. The intensity, challenge and complexity of potential crisis, in a context of high threats, impose to develop instruments of this collaboration: new interactive instruments of information, communication (warning and information) bettering risk supervision, the decision-making, the alert and risk management, involving citizens to the whole process; instruments of analyse, experience feedbacks and planning; formation and operational preparation of actors. Mutual assistance conventions exist on these territories which are organising the answer to these crises. The seriousness of these events and their scarcity make them necessary to develop new instruments allowing the facilitation of practices integrations and knowledges in natural risk prevention sector and crisis management. This PITEM is integrated in the continuity of previous experiences (RiskNat, RISKNET, FORMARISC, FORTRESS, PICRIT, PRODIGE), it promotes work and deliverable realized, pursuing their development increasing their use by a bigger public of users.
