Local Resilience Strategy

An adoptable local resilience strategy drafted in 4–12 weeks, positioning municipalities for the 2025–2030 EU funding wave dedicated to resilience and defence.

An 80–160-page strategic document adopted by local council resolution, integrating the community's risk profile, critical functions, a prioritised portfolio of 10–25 projects, and a mapping of available European funding sources (ERDF, UCPM, Interreg, PNRR, SAFE). It serves as a preparation instrument for the 2025–2030 European funding cycle and provides a concrete advantage in calls with resilience or dual-use criteria. Includes a DICRIM communication plan, local governance architecture, annual exercises, and operational protocols.
