The first Tabletop Exercise, hosted at local scale in Hamburg, took place on Sept 16th 2025. This inaugural exercise (1 of 3 planned) broke new ground by reimagining citizen involvement in crisis preparedness. Unlike traditional formats, it created direct dialogue between the crisis management team and citizens, fostering respectful discussions with multiple perspectives.

Looking Ahead: the insights from this first exercise will directly shape the project’s approach for the remaining two exercises in Piedmont (February 19th) and Romania (April 22nd), which will integrate the mobile app and AI simulation models.
