On 15 and 16 May 2017, a dedicated group of experts within the CARISMAND project gathered in Vienna to implement the project results and knowledge gained up to this point into the development of the Toolkit and Cultural Map.

The Toolkit and Cultural Map will provide formal and “informal” disaster managers, as well as interested citizens with recommendations and practical guidelines for incorporating the knowledge on citizens’ cultural specifics into disaster preparedness, crisis response and recovery.

The workshop consisted of a series of brainstorming sessions and was joined by 15 team members, who contributed for the advance of the Toolkit development by sharing most recent research results, observations, and recommendations.
