Co-Designing Localised Risk Management Tools in the French Alps
The GOBEYOND Living Lab in the Alpes-Maritimes region of southeastern France brings together local and regional actors to co-create a tailored platform, supported by PREDICT Services. The Lab focuses on municipalities frequently affected by hydrometeorological and geological hazards—particularly Cannes, Sospel, and Guillaumes—equipping them with tools to strengthen risk preparedness and crisis management.
Stakeholders involved:
Syndicat Mixte pour les Inondations, l’Aménagement et la Gestion de l’Eau maralpin (SMIAGE)
Municipality of Cannes
Municipality of Sospel
Municipality of Guillaumes
PREDICT Services
Bureau des Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM)
