Kick off meeting FASTER project

11-13 May 2026 – The FASTER project aims to improve and harmonize five of the most advanced RRE systems -developed in Italy, France, Türkiye, Romania, and Spain – by fostering interoperability, enhancing technical performance, and first and foremost aligning their frameworks with practitioners’ real needs. The project pursues three main objectives:

1. Improve and harmonize RRE tools for better cooperation within the UCPM and beyond.
2. Enhance responsiveness through experience-sharing and analysis of real events.
3. Raise stakeholder awareness and coordination across all civil protection levels.

FASTER brings together civil protection authorities, research institutions and developers, and establishes a dedicated Community of Practice (CoP) within the Union Civil Protection Knowledge Network. This CoP will consolidate best practices, support tool adoption in less-equipped countries, and contribute to more coherent, actionable seismic risk management planning across Europe. UfM is member of the Advisory Board of the EU funded project FASTER.
