The COVID 19 pandemic<\/strong> revealed that society was unprepared for such a widespread emergency. However, it also provided an opportunity to reflect on these challenges and improve future preparedness and response. PREPSHIELD aims to create a more comprehensive and people-centered approach to health crisis management, placing individuals and communities at the forefront of planning and decision-making.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”HOW” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FDFDFF” image_icon_background_color=”#272361″ icon_placement=”left” module_id=”title-icon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”32px” image_icon_custom_margin=”||||true|false” image_icon_custom_padding=”0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|true|true” border_radii_image=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n PREPSHIELD will conduct a need analysis and develop recommendations for health crisis preparedness<\/strong>, response, and communication as well as tools to simulate future crises. The PREPSHIELD platform and app will be developed to facilitate communication among stakeholders and support decision-making in a real or simulated crisis. Once the recommendations and tools are developed, so-called \u201cpilot exercises\u201d will simulate future crises with stakeholders: one communication pilot, one tabletop exercise, and one online exercise relying entirely on the platform and app.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/prepshield-project.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PREPSHIELD_Scheme_02_V2-01.png” title_text=”PREPSHIELD_Scheme_02_V2-01″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”WHERE” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FDFDFF” image_icon_background_color=”#272361″ icon_placement=”left” module_id=”title-icon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”32px” image_icon_custom_margin=”||||true|false” image_icon_custom_padding=”0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|true|true” border_radii_image=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The pilot exercises will take place at different scales in different countries: local (Hamburg, DE<\/strong>), regional (Piedmont, IT<\/strong>) and national (Romania<\/strong>).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”WHEN” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||400″ icon_color=”#FDFDFF” image_icon_background_color=”#272361″ icon_placement=”left” module_id=”title-icon” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font_size=”32px” image_icon_custom_margin=”||||true|false” image_icon_custom_padding=”0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|0.3rem|true|true” border_radii_image=”on|4px|4px|4px|4px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The PREPSHIELD project started in September 2024<\/strong> and will end in August 2027<\/strong>.
