Demonstration overview
The Alpes-Maritimes pilot site is located in southeastern France and spans both coastal and mountainous areas, with a population of more than 1 million inhabitants. It includes the urban municipality of Cannes and the smaller rural municipalities of Sospel and Guillaumes. The area is exposed to a variety of hydrometeorological and geological hazards, making it an ideal environment to demonstrate a multi-risk approach.

Solution
The MR-IEWS platform for Cannes, Sospel and Guillaumes is supported mainly by PREDICT SERVICES and designed to integrate and aggregate multiple data streams across hazard types. It is tailored to the local characteristics of each municipality (vulnerabilities, resources, and challenges) to enable them to manage high-risk events as effectively as possible.
It facilitates the exchange of information and crisis management coordination among local, departmental, regional and even national levels to optimize the deployment of resources.
The platform is a full-web platform, with a central mapping system giving users rapid access to information on risk awareness, crisis management procedures to be implemented, real-time hydrometeorological events, alert reception parameters for their territory and a logbook for event management.
It is also a multi-hazard management platform, enabling users to be supported in all aspects of crisis management (in line with the four pillars of the United Nations' EW4ALL initiative): Risk knowledge, Preparedness, Monitoring, Dissemination.
