On 3- 7 May 2022 a Work Cafè was organized in Molise by Regione Molise, Lead Partner of the ECITIJENS project, in collaboration with its Civil Protection Department. It was aimed at improving the expertise of professionals on decision-making and management tools, such as the ECITIJENS EDSS platform, as an innovative technology for crisis management in Molise, a region particularly vulnerable to natural risks.
The work café was held with professional accessibility certifiers and it saw the participation of some journalists, architects, engineers, surveyors, geologists, agricultural experts, as well as regional officials of the Civil Protection Service who participated in the training that took them to receiving a professional qualification for the assessment of building accessibility after seismic occurrences.
During the event, a specific section was organized only for journalists, in collaboration with the regional branch of the journalists’ association (Ordine dei Giornalisti), with the aim of:
- informing the journalists about the ECITIJENS project,
- presenting the EDSS platform as a result of 3-years of transnational cooperation
- discussing a possible regulatory framework for its adoption.
The journalists learned how the E-CITIJENS Emergency Decision Support System is designed as to support emergency management by collecting information from social media networks, institutional sources as well as sensors and swiftly identify critical situations with respect to three target risks: floods, forestfires and earthquakes.
The growth of social media technologies has increased the public’s ability to mobilize and share information with each other. The ECITIJENS project is taking this as an opportunity for a better involvement of citizen in contributing to the management of crises, which, could be usefully channeled also towards a better cooperation with journalists as well.
With this training, they enhanced their knowledge of an innovative tool to allow citizens journalism as well, as a way to help officials and first responders gather up-to-date emergency-related information and optimize their response efforts.
With these events the ECITIJENS Awareness Raising Campaign moves forward with more Civil Protection insiders aware of the potential of the EDSS and of interregional cooperation.

“Emergency Response Decision Support System”
The E-CITIJENS Cross-Border Conference named “Emergency Response Decision Support System” - took place at the Angevin Castle of Civitacampomarano (Campobasso, Italy).
The event was designed with a view to raising awareness about emergency decision support systems and to informing about best practices and projects related the use of social media for emergency and disaster monitoring and management.
Taking step from the Sendai Reference Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 adopted in 2015 by the United Nations, the E-CITIJENS project aims to create a joint cross-border system for the detection of terrestrial and climatic observations based on the use of social media as tools to support effective communication of risks. The system will support the decisions of national emergency services (civil protection, coast guard and other bodies) while coping with the prevention, mitigation and management of catastrophic events.
Based on a semantically enriched web platform that integrates information from both institutional and social media sources, the E-CITIJENS EDSS represents a tool to increase the level of involvement of the population and to stimulate citizens to take on the role of "active sensors" of emergencies.
