Emergencies, including health crises, place immense pressure on the response capacities of cities, countries, and the European Union, exacerbating existing climatic, political, economic, and social challenges. Vulnerable urban populations are excessively affected, facing limited access to information, resources, and healthcare, resulting in higher morbidity and mortality.
The goal of Sonar-Cities is to make Europe’s cities more resilient in health emergencies and disasters through the co-creation and implementation of a community-based, adapted toolset for people facing vulnerabilities, first responders, and decisionmakers.
