Orihuela Joins European Project to Enhance Disaster Resilience

Orihuela Town Hall has partnered with the Norwegian foundation NORSAR to participate in the European Horizon project, TOGETHER. This initiative aims to enhance early warning systems and disaster management strategies across Europe.

The project, which focuses on integrated governance for effective disaster management, will develop a comprehensive toolkit that includes innovative technologies and best practices. This toolkit will be tested in various European countries, including Spain, to assess its effectiveness in different contexts.

By joining the TOGETHER project, Orihuela will benefit from the expertise of international partners and gain access to cutting-edge technologies. The city will also have the opportunity to contribute to the development of a more resilient and disaster-prepared Europe.

Orihuela’s participation in the project is particularly significant given its vulnerability to natural disasters, such as floods and earthquakes. By implementing the project’s recommendations, the city aims to strengthen its capacity to respond to emergencies and mitigate the impact of future disasters.

This collaboration underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing global challenges, such as climate change and natural disasters. By sharing knowledge and resources, countries can work together to build a more resilient future.
