RESILIENCE is a service contract funded by DG REGIO and DG ECHO of the EC aiming at identify and assess risks in cross-border areas as well as their impact. The project strives to identify agreements, tools and institutional processes to manage these risks – the goal is again to make a systematic review of the legal framework governing disaster risk management and preparedness in border territories but also analyse the tools at the disposal of countries. RESILIENCE will also identify good practices in cross-border risk management which will then be turned into case studies to serve as inspiration for other countries, regions and local authorities.
