RESILOC objective is to study and develop strategies, processes, methodologies and instruments for Europe, that will be validated in four different local communities, to increase disaster resilience by:
•  Understanding risk perception mechanisms and risk awareness in diverse communities and for diverse risks;
•  Analysing the different approaches adopted at local level, in Europe and elsewhere in the World, to face emergency situations and improve resiliency, with particular emphasis to communities in unfavourable socio-economic conditions; 
•  Comparing the effectiveness and potential of existing strategies, instruments and solutions, and identify adaptation and customisation to be validated in field trials on the basis of the two above points;
RESILOC will contribute to a more profound comprehension of the European resilience mechanisms and to the identification of the best approaches to create more resilient communities.
