The networking activities between the Project Consortium, that is composed by recognized research institutes, competence centres for disaster risks and Civil Protection authorities, and the Advisory Group will result in the establishment of a European think tank/observatory on disaster risk and crisis management best practices that could represent a first step towards a Community of Practice to operate within the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, in collaboration with the Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Center.
