The aim of the project is to contribute to the understanding and to the enhancing of cross-border area resilience with regard to the risk of disasters by considering two topics in particular: the resilience of medical dependent citizens and the management of volunteers in a cross-border area. Scientific knowledge and decision-makers contributions to cross border areas resilience to disasters will be enhanced with an interdisciplinary approach combining conceptual and empirical research, decision support system engineering and a campaign of experiments.Results of the project will be novel models for the thematic of cross border area resilience and on the perspective of medical dependent citizens and volunteers; a decision support system constituted of an assessment tool and a multi-agents system based simulation software; a set of experiments rapports on the utility, usability and acceptability of the solution developed and practical experience for resilience to disaster stakeholders. The project will be conducted by a team constituted of two German institutes (KIT and University of Wuppertal) and two French institutes (ARMINES / Mines Paristech and Paris-Dauphine University). INCA will be monitored by a steering committee constituted of representatives of relevant stakeholders (NGOs, local government representative, experts on disaster resilience). We focus on a reference region in the French-German border geographical area.
