Resilience to natural risks is an issue on a territorial and even societal scale. It is the ability of a society to anticipate and react to a natural phenomenon that threatens its sustainable development, in order to limit negative impacts and regain a level of operation as quickly as possible. Good municipal management of crises linked to natural risks also depends on the level of preparation of neighbouring municipalities.

The Rischi naturali 06 Project questions the level of natural risk management and disaster resilience of the 163 municipalities in the Alpes-Maritimes department in order to build territorial equilibrium.

Cannes, the second city in 06 by population, is the first municipality in France to have adopted a Communal Plan for the Prevention of Terrorist Risk or to have carried out a tsunami alert simulation exercise. We are delighted to have it as the project's first partner city. Thanks to the involvement of its teams, we were able to test and perfect the methodology that will be applied to all participating municipalities.
