NALAS training on Effective application of DRR IT tools in English is open to all countries and will be conducted on 19 and 26 September from 10-14:00h (CEST) and is organised within the European Union-funded project COVALEX (Community of Valued Experts in Hydrometeorological and Technological Multi-Hazards).

The training is designed for practitioners in local government units who are responsible for civil protection, disaster risk management, or climate change, as well as for members of local government headquarters involved in civil protection and rescue.

The overall learning objective consists in participants, by the end of the training, having acquired knowledge and being skilled to handle tools necessary to address critical challenges faced by local governments in managing hydrometeorological hazards. They transition from first responders to first preventers, understanding global, EU, and regional/national disaster risk reduction concepts, risk assessment phases, and innovative solutions for prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
