The 2nd GOBEYOND Workshop, titled "From Early Warnings to Real-World Emergency Response ", was held on 21–22 April 2026 in Naples, Italy, bringing together researchers, civil protection authorities, policymakers, first responders, and technical experts from across Europe.
Over two interactive days, participants exchanged knowledge and experiences through roundtables, case studies, poster sessions, hands-on exhibitions, and open discussions focused on strengthening disaster preparedness, operational response, and community resilience to multi-risk hazards.

Participants explored a series of poster presentations showcasing innovative research and tools, encouraging networking and knowledge exchange among attendees.
Hands-on Exhibitions
The workshop featured 9 live operational demonstrations, offering participants the opportunity to experience innovative tools, technologies, and services in action through interactive hands-on exhibitions.
Roundtables and Case Studies
Early Warning for Volcanic Eruptions and Tsunamis: From Simulation to Operational Response
The Case Study of Campi Flegrei: Managing Volcanic Risk and Unrest Phases
Rainfall Induced Landslides and LEWS: Monitoring and Local Response strategies
Impact-Based Early Warnings and Rapid Response for Seismic Risk: Feasibility and Uptake
Managing Impact-Based Multi-Risk Warnings: Complexity and Challenges
From Early Warnings to Action: Implementing Site-Specific Warnings
Poster Sessions
The Poster Sessions showcased state-of-the-art developments, innovative research, and the GOBEYOND Pilot Site Success Stories, encouraging participants to engage directly with each other, exchange ideas, and explore project results in an interactive way.

Hands-on Exhibitions
Participants had the opportunity to engage directly with the Multi-Risk Impact-based Early Warning System (MR-IEWS) prototypes through live demonstrations.
Nine interactive demo stations were set up:
Andalucía, Estepona and Cádiz cities
Alpes-Maritimes Area and province of Chefchaouen
Attica Region
Pozzuoli
Setúbal
Zürich & Ticino Cantons
Forest fire AI-based Risk assessment tool
Supporting Impact data-based warnings: Impact Database and Mobile APP
Post-Earthquake Rapid Loss Estimation
Attendees were able to explore the platform’s features, ask questions, and provide feedback directly to the developers and pilot leads. This hands-on experience gave participants a tangible sense of the tools being co-developed and how they can be adapted to local needs
