LODESTAR brings together what experts, citizens and city authorities know about disaster management in learning workshops, so we can better forecast extreme situations and issue early warnings. Based on state-of-the-art satellite information and artificial intelligence, LODESTAR will design a ‘dashboard’ (a mobile phone application and a web interface) for disasters, with easy-to-follow instructions, to reduce the impacts of multi-hazards (floods and periods of droughts) on citizens. The consortium will implement and pilot the approach in different cities and regions of India and the Netherlands that may see floods (from rivers or rainfall) and dry spells.
