Project overview
Developing resilience against extreme weather threats caused by climate change at local level in Central Europe
Extreme weather events are increasing with rising temperatures. They are best tackled in collaboration but the task too often relies on experts alone. The LOCALIENCE project takes disaster managers out of their one-directional information and service provider position and connects them in a co-design process with local communities. The partnership develops and tests collaborative disaster response and management solutions and mobilises local communities through mutual learning and networking.

Challenge
![Challenge: Extreme weather events](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/photorealistic-style-clouds-storm_23-21510589222.jpg)
Climate change is affecting the worldโs hydrological cycle and increasing the frequency and intensity of weather and water related natural disasters. Floods, fires, storms, landslides, droughts, etc. pose a great risk to local communities, which may lack resilience and suffer extensive damages, even casualties.
Specific problem
![Specific problem](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/photo-flood-gallagher2-1.jpg)
If there is a lack of awareness in the local communities about how to manage disasters caused by weather extremes, as well as a lack of cooperation with organisations on local, regional or national levels, damages due to extreme weather events can be even more devastating than they already are.
Idea
![Idea](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/concept-clinking-bulbs-hands-nature1-scaled.jpg)
Promote cooperation among local stakeholders, involve local communities and raise awareness on natural disasters management in order to increase local resilience.
Solution
![Solutions](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/business-executives-with-hand-stacked_by_peoplecreations-1-scaled.jpg)
Developing solutions in cooperation with citizens and local organizations by first: โข assessing of the strengths and weaknesses of current disaster management frameworks through a comprehensive disaster management survey, โข creating a collection of awareness-raising and training good practices on natural disaster resilience across project countries. The solutions will be demonstrated with 5 pilot actions.
