About
The STRENGTH project aims to address two key challenges: improving knowledge and coordination in climate change impact monitoring, and enhancing effectiveness in civil protection processes through enhanced cooperation. It focuses on increasing resilience to climate hazards and developing methods for flood-resistant buildings, reducing losses from earthquakes, sea-level rise, extreme weather events, drought, desertification, and saltwater intrusion in coastal settlements like Kastela, Ferrara, and Ravenna.
Key outputs include joint multi-hazard monitoring campaigns, innovative assessment procedures, and tailored planning actions for public agencies. The project adopts an operational and problem-solving approach, starting with site-specific strategies tailored to local needs and interests, followed by synthesis and integration of methodologies across sites.
Building on the success of the PMO-GATE project, the collaboration involves cross-border partners with complementary expertise ensuring comprehensive solutions. The project's original outcomes include the cross-border adoption of smart monitoring technologies for structures, strategies to enhance resilient urban ecosystems, and a risk communication framework to foster collaborative engagement among scientists, policymakers, stakeholders, and citizens.
