In the current issue of the specialist magazine “Notfallvorsorge”, emergenCITY researchers Joachim Schulze and Michèle Knodt present the digital Heinerblock and the eHUB.
What does modern crisis management look like? How do we prepare for extreme situations and disasters? These are the topics of “Notfallvorsorge”, the specialist journal for civil protection and disaster relief, published four times a year by Walhalla Verlag. The first issue of the new year was published at the end of March and features an emergenCITY article entitled “From Emergency Preparedness to Emergency Communication: Resilient Strategies for Urban Neighborhoods.”
In it, Joachim Schulze, scientist at the LOEWE Center emergenCITY and the Department of Architecture at TU Darmstadt, and Michèle Knodt, deputy coordinator of emergenCITY and professor of political science at TU Darmstadt, present two solutions for securing emergency communication in urban neighborhoods: the digital Heinerblock and the eHUB.
“Urban neighborhoods are ideally suited as spatial units for developing resilience strategies,” the authors write. A central aspect of such strategies is the development of new forms of resilient crisis communication infrastructure.
The journal, featuring current contributions from experts in academia and practice, is aimed at managers and those responsible for disaster relief, in administration, at the federal, state, and local levels, in aid organizations, and their training institutions.
The article is available for download here (only in German).
