The Third Citizen Summit took place on 17 June 2017 in Rome, Italy.

Participants were first introduced to the concept of CARISMAND project and the three phases of disaster management – preparedness, response, and recovery. Then they were invited to share their experience and opinion on a set of questions, using a voting system for real-time response. The questions related both to attendees’ past experience and to their risk perception, and attitudes towards the use of different technologies in the case of disaster.

In the second half of the day participants were allocated into 10 discussion groups within which specific cases of disaster management practices were tackled in depth.

The Citizen Summit in Rome was finalised with a recap of the day and summary of the voting results from the morning session which were compared with the results from the Citizen Summits in Bucharest and Malta.

The next Citizen Summit is to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, on 24 June 2017.
