In the face of natural disasters, effective communication is not just a necessity—it’s a lifeline. At RESILIAGE, we understand that when crises strike, the flow of information becomes paramount for managing responses and fostering community resilience. As individuals grapple with uncertainty, they actively seek guidance and clarity.

Our Spring 2024 research, involving focus group sessions, surveys, and interviews with key stakeholders from five CORE Labs, unveiled critical insights into the dynamics of communication networks. We identified gaps and highlighted best practices that empower communities to prepare and respond more effectively.

This booklet shares our most significant findings, revealing the needs of local authorities, first responders, and citizens while showcasing the innovative solutions RESILIAGE brings to strengthen disaster communication and enhance community capacity.

A series of booklets will follow this one so join us in exploring these vital insights that can make a real difference when it matters most.
