PEP - Public Empowerment Policies for Crises Management
The aim of the project Public Empowerment Policies for Crisis Management is to investigate how the crisis response abilities of the public can be enhanced and what public empowerment policies are successful in realising this aim.
Public Empowerment Policies enhance crisis management as a coproduction of response organizations and citizens. The project will identify best practices in the community approach to crisis resilience and give directions for future research and implementation, including the use of social media and mobile services, to further citizen response. The input of the experts in the field of crisis management and communication is a key element in pursuing the goals of this project.
PEP offers authorities and other non-governmental organisations a comprehensive information package about key enablers for public empowerment in the form of guides concentrating on best practices, community approach and human technology enhancing citizen response.
