PEP-Public Empowerment Policies Crisis Management

The project Public Empowerment Policies for Crisis Management (PEP, 2012–2014) identifies best practices in a community approach to crisis resilience, and gives directions for future research and implementation, including the use of social media and mobile services, to further community resilience as a co-production of response organizations and citizens.

The project Public Empowerment Policies for Crisis Management (PEP) is a cooperation of several teams of researchers from January 2012 to December 2014. This EU-funded project is coordinated by the University of Jyväskylä and based on extensive ground work by research teams from:

The Mid Sweden University, Sweden
Global Risk Forum, Switzerland
Inconnect, the Netherlands
The Emergency Services College, Finland
The University of Jyväskylä, Finland
Public Empowerment Policies enhance crisis management as a coproduction of response organizations and citizens. The project identifies best practices in the community approach to crisis resilience and gives directions for future research and implementation, including the use of social media and mobile services, to further citizen response. The input of the experts in the field of crisis management and communication is a key element in pursuing the goals of this project.
