Coproducing Safety

The project ‘Professionals and self-reliant citizens’ (funded by Centre of Expertise Delta Technology) is aimed at development of practical knowledge about co-creating safety and to make this applicable for communities in the south-west delta. This is established by training safety professionals to deal with resilience, increasing awareness among communities, developing instruments to enhance and monitor community resilience, and by improving alignment between professionals, citizens, businesses and other societal actors. In this study flood risk is used as a main scenario. For this project, it is essential to have insight in the basic perception and action strategies of citizens, businesses, professionals and governments in relation to flood risks. We have two assignments available in this project. The first is assignment is related to a surveys about self-reliance within Zeeland and organization of workshops. The second assignment is about the development of a resilience scorecard (impact analysis). This contains a.o. an exploration and analysis of resilience instruments as developed by FEMA (USA), Torrens Institute (Australia), Kent Resilience Team (UK) and UFZ Leipzig (Germany).
