PITEM RISK – Résilience, Information, Sensibilisation et Communication à l’égard des Citoyens

PITEM RISK – Résilience, Information, Sensibilisation et Communication à l’égard des Citoyens
Countries: France, Italy
Border(s): France-Italy-Monaco,
European programme(s):
Interreg VA France-Italy (ALCOTRA)
Topic(s):
- Climate change, risk management and prevention
- Natural and rural areas

Lead partner: Aosta Valley Region (Italy)

ALCOTRA’s territory is subject to numerous risks. Some of them ignore borders (natural risks), some others are susceptible to be replicated on both sides of the border or to request a joint intervention (industrial, urban and technological risks). These specifics risks need an enforced cross-border cooperation. The gravity and scarcity of these events make it necessary to develop new instruments allowing the facilitation of practices and knowledge integrations in natural risk prevention sector and crisis management. This PITEM aims to enhance cross-border cooperation to better prevent and manage the risks that are specific to the Alpine territory.
