Greece, in addition to the inherent natural phenomena that occur throughout its territory, is called to face, particularly in recent years as a result of climate change impacts and due to its unique geography and geographical location, the significant increase in the frequency of extreme weather events that create serious natural and environmental risks and disasters. These impacts primarily affect human life and health, as well as the economy, environment, and culture. For these reasons, the need to upgrade early warning systems for natural disasters is a crucial factor in the levels of prevention and preparedness for the effective management of crises and risks resulting from natural disasters. The project's object consists of the implementation of two central actions within the framework of the strategy to enhance the country's resilience against natural and man-made disasters:
1. Procurement of systems for prevention, response, management and early warning for natural and man-made hazards, as part of creating an integrated system for prevention, monitoring, and early risk forecasting based on cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence.
2. Development of a framework for readiness evaluation & system for systematic recording and monitoring of resources related to the Civil Protection of Local Authorities. The implementation of the actions is based on the following strategic directions:
• Monitoring and forecasting extreme phenomena: Addressing natural disasters such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes through innovative technologies.
• Systematic evaluation of the level of preparedness of Local Authorities & appropriate management of civil protection resources: Supporting decision-making for the mobilization and allocation of available resources at local and national levels using information based on documented evidence.

Greece, in addition to the inherent natural phenomena that occur throughout its territory, is called to face, particularly in recent years as a result of climate change impacts and due to its unique geography and geographical location, the significant increase in the frequency of extreme weather events that create serious natural and environmental risks and disasters. These impacts primarily affect human life and health, as well as the economy, environment, and culture. For these reasons, the need to upgrade early warning systems for natural disasters is a crucial factor in the levels of prevention and preparedness for the effective management of crises and risks resulting from natural disasters.
The lack of advanced tools that can cover remote and geographically complex areas poses a significant challenge. Existing monitoring systems often have limitations regarding accuracy, spatial coverage, and speed of information delivery. The need for a system with mobility, flexibility, and combined use of technologies is evident.
Such a system would be able to respond promptly to emergencies caused by extreme phenomena, especially in high-risk areas. This challenge requires innovative approaches that exceed traditional limitations.
The project's object consists of two central actions within the framework of the strategy to enhance the country's resilience against natural and man-made disasters:
1. Procurement of systems for prevention, response, management and early warning for natural and man-made hazards, as part of creating an integrated system for prevention, monitoring, and early risk forecasting based on cutting-edge technologies and artificial intelligence.
In this way, the monitoring and forecasting of extreme phenomena is achieved, addressing natural disasters such as floods and wildfires through innovative technologies.
2. Development of a framework for readiness evaluation & system for systematic recording and monitoring of resources related to the Civil Protection of Local Authorities.
The systematic evaluation of the level of preparedness of the Local Authorities & appropriate management of civil protection resources will allow supporting the decision-making for the mobilization and allocation of available resources at local and national levels using information based on documented evidence.
Greece's geophysical and climatic vulnerability, exacerbated by climate change, makes it essential to take preventive, forecasting, and risk management measures. The two sub-actions aim to:
• Timely forecasting and effective monitoring of extreme phenomena.
• Organizing and coordinated utilization of civil protection resources from Local Authorities.
