The second phase of the training on the "Effective Application of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Information Technology (IT) Tools for Hydrometeorological Hazards at a Local Level," organized by NALAS (Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe) and funded by the EU, will take place on October 22 and 29, 2024.

Following the successful completion of the first phase in September, this second phase is designed for members of local government units working in civil protection, disaster risk management, or climate change, as well as for members of rescue teams.

The program aims to address the challenges local governments face in managing hydrometeorological hazards and to equip participants with the knowledge to transition from first responders to first preventers. Participants will gain insights into risk assessment, European Union perspectives, and available technological tools related to hydrometeorological hazards.

The training consists of four modules:

Module 1: Introduction to Hydrometeorological Hazards
Module 2: Risk Evaluation and Readiness Assessment
Module 3: European Union Perspectives
Module 4: Information Technology (IT) Tools and Platforms
